Title: Imaging through a multiple scattering medium

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6431258

The existing theory of imaging through an aerosol medium, based on the small-angle approximation to radiative transfer, is extended to the general case of multiple scattering with an arbitrary degree of anisotropy. By applying the discrete-ordinates, finite-element radiation transport code TWOTRAN, we compute the modulation transfer function for a medium characterized by optical depth, single scattering albedo, and a symmetry parameter. An extended version of this investigation will appear in a 1984 issue of Applied Optics.
