Abstract

Hyperspectral imaging polarimetry enables both the spectrum and its spectrally-resolved state of polarization to be measured. This information is important to identify material properties for various applications in remote sensing and agricultural monitoring. In this paper, we describe the design and performance of a ruggedized, field deployable Hyperspectral Imaging Polarimeter (HIP), designed for wavelengths spanning the visible to near infrared (450-800 nm). An entrance slit was used to sample the scene in a pushbroom scanning mode across a 30 degree vertical by 110 degree horizontal field of view. Furthermore, athermalized achromatic retarders were implemented in a channel spectrum generator to measure the linear Stokes parameters. The mechanical and optical layout of the system and its peripherals are provided, in addition to the results of the sensor's spectral and polarimetric calibration. Finally, field measurements are also provided and an error analysis conducted. With its present calibration, the sensor has an absolute polarimetric error of 2.5% RIVIS and a relative spectral error of 2.3% RMS.

Calibration and performance of the airborne fourier transform visible hyperspectral imager (FTVHSI)

Conference Otten, III, L J ; Meigs, A D ; Sellar, R G

A new hyperspectral imager has recently been developed by Kestrel Corporation for use in light aircraft platforms. The instrument provides 256 spectral channels with 87 cm{sup -1} spectral bandwidth over the 350 nm to 1050 nm portion of the spectrum. Operated as a pushbroom imager, the FTVHSI has been shown to have a IFOV of 0.75 mrad, and a FOV of 0.23 rad. The sensor includes an internal spectral/radiometric calibration source, a self contained spectrally resolved downwelling sensor, and complete line of sight and GPS positioning information. The instrument is now completing an extensive set of calibration and performance measurementsmore »« less
Atmospheric Correction Algorithm for Hyperspectral Imagery

Conference Pollina, R J

In December 1997, the US Department of Energy (DOE) established a Center of Excellence (Hyperspectral-Multispectral Algorithm Research Center, HyMARC) for promoting the research and development of algorithms to exploit spectral imagery. This center is located at the DOE Remote Sensing Laboratory in Las Vegas, Nevada, and is operated for the DOE by Bechtel Nevada. This paper presents the results to date of a research project begun at the center during 1998 to investigate the correction of hyperspectral data for atmospheric aerosols.

High Speed VNIR/SWIR Hyperspectral Imager for Quantifying Terrestrial Ecosystems

Technical Report Dupuis, Julia R. ; Craig, Stephanie M. ; Rameau, Jonathan D.

Physical Sciences Inc. developed a high-speed visible/near infrared, shortwave infrared (VNIR/SWIR) hyperspectral imaging (HSI) sensor for airborne, dynamic, spatially-resolved vegetation trait measurements to support advanced terrestrial modeling. The VNIR/SWIR-HSI sensor employs a digital micromirror device (DMD) as an agile, programmable entrance slit into VNIR and SWIR grating spectrometer channels, each with two-dimensional focal plane arrays. The DMD-based slit enables the generation of high quality hyperspectral images from a small rotary wing unmanned aircraft system (UAS) with negligible motion-induced artifacts, which is a significant performance benefit over commercially available push broom HSI sensors. An advanced prototype HSI sensor was developed, validatedmore »« less
Portable Imaging Polarimeter and Imaging Experiments

Technical Report PHIPPS, GARY S ; KEMME, SHANALYN A ; SWEATT, WILLIAM C ; ...

Polarimetry is the method of recording the state of polarization of light. Imaging polarimetry extends this method to recording the spatially resolved state of polarization within a scene. Imaging-polarimetry data have the potential to improve the detection of manmade objects in natural backgrounds. We have constructed a midwave infrared complete imaging polarimeter consisting of a fixed wire-grid polarizer and rotating form-birefringent retarder. The retardance and the orientation angles of the retarder were optimized to minimize the sensitivity of the instrument to noise in the measurements. The optimal retardance was found to be 132{degree} rather than the typical 90{degree}. The completemore »« less

THE IMAGING PROPERTIES OF THE GAS PIXEL DETECTOR AS A FOCAL PLANE POLARIMETER

Journal Article Fabiani, S. ; Costa, E. ; Del Monte, E. ; ... - Astrophysical Journal, Supplement Series

X-rays are particularly suited to probing the physics of extreme objects. However, despite the enormous improvements of X-ray astronomy in imaging, spectroscopy, and timing, polarimetry remains largely unexplored. We propose the photoelectric polarimeter Gas Pixel Detector (GPD) as a candidate instrument to fill the gap created by more than 30 yr without measurements. The GPD, in the focus of a telescope, will increase the sensitivity of orders of magnitude. Moreover, since it can measure the energy, the position, the arrival time, and the polarization angle of every single photon, it allows us to perform polarimetry of subsets of data singled outmore »« less
