This paper reports results of a recent field experiment using a prototype system to evaluate the acousto-optic tunable filter polarimetric hyperspectral imaging technology for target detection applications.
This paper presents results from a preliminary study of using an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) polarimetric hyperspectral imaging system to perform SOI characterization.
JPL developed a prototype system for evaluating potential applications of a polarimetric hyperspectral imaging (PHI) technology using the noncollinear acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF).
Developmental nondestructive method of characterizing layers of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer involves combination of polarimetric hyperspectral imaging by use of acousto-optical tunable filters (AOTF-PHI) and computational resources for extracting pertinent data on SOI wafers from polarimetric hyperspectral images. Offers high spectral resolution and both ease and rapidity of optical-wavelength tuning. Further efforts to implement all of processing of polarimetric spectral image data in special-purpose hardware for sake of procesing speed. Enables characterization of SOI wafers in real time for online monitoring and adjustment of production. Also accelerates application of AOTF-PHI to other applications in which need for high-resolution spectral imaging, both with and without polarimetry.
Recent development of a polarimetric hyperspectral imaging (PHSI) prototype sensor system that uses an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) as a wavelength sorter and a polarizing beam splitter.
Simulated mine detection was performed on a polarimetric hyperspectral imaging dataset collected by using an acousto-optic tunable filter camera. A feedforward artificial neural network was programmed to recognize predefined spectral "templates." The simulation results are provided along with the preprocessing steps and window sizes leading to mine detection without false alarms.
This paper reports recent field test results of a polarimetric hyperspectral imaging prototype sensor using a noncollinear acousto-optic tunable filter as a wavelength sorter and a polarizing beam splitter.

This paper reports an analysis of polarimetric hyperspectral imagery of an outdoor scene containing a number of inactive mines. The imagery was taken with a visible/near-infrared acousto-optic tunable filter prototype system. The result has illustrated that the characteristics of mine smooth surfaces can create high signals in polarization difference images and consequently provide a quick and reliable approach for detection.
This paper reports results from an analysis of polarimetric hyperspectral imagery collected using a prototype acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) instrument in an outdoor environment. Spectra, derivative spectra, and polarization spectra in the image cube form were studied. The issue concerns spectral and polarization signatures of vegetation, contributions due to aerosol, and man-made object detection. The result illustrates potentials of the technology for a variety of remote sensing applications.
