Both configurations are in-house developments, but based on a limited number of standard and commercially available components (cameras, LEDs). The instruments provide images (640×512, resp. 1280×1024 pixels) at a rate of ca. 17 Hz (live stream) that can be displayed either directly on an integrated display or send via (wireless) network. Key specifications (optical power, field of view, heat development) have been characterized in laboratory tests. The performance of the two system configurations in terms of vision enhancement is compared both practically (field tests) and theoretically (Mie scattering theory). The 1300 nm illuminator has almost double power compared to the 1550 nm illuminator. However, Mie calculations predict more backscatter and less transmission through fog and smoke, which is highly depending on the particle size. Field tests using artificial fog and an in-house developed transmissiometer have been performed to validate the findings from modeling and found a vision enhancement in the order of one magnitude due to use of SWIR (instead of the Visible) for use in typical environments for which the instruments are designed for. A substantial additional improvement in terms of vision enhancement could be achieved by using polarized light and polarization optics to reduce the backscatter signal. In contrast to other research studies, this vision enhancement is not based on polarization difference imaging but on reducing the backscatter component only, enabling a robust and simple system design.","PeriodicalId":416163,"journal":{"name":"Electro-Optical and Infrared Systems: Technology and Applications XX","volume":"171 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121685139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
