Biological Response to the Dynamic Spectral - Polarized
Camouflage in marine environments requires matching all of the background optical properties: spectral, intensity and polarization components─ all of which can change dynamically in space and time. Current research suggests that polarization detection is more sensitive than other conventional detection methods in scattering media such as the ocean, hence underscoring the need to develop polariz...
متن کاملPolarized light field under dynamic ocean surfaces: Numerical modeling compared with measurements
[1] As part of the Radiance in a Dynamic Ocean (RaDyO) program, we have developed a numerical model for efficiently simulating the polarized light field under highly dynamic ocean surfaces. Combining the advantages of the three‐dimensional Monte Carlo and matrix operator methods, this hybrid model has proven to be computationally effective for simulations involving a dynamic air‐sea interface. ...
متن کاملThe linearly polarized light field in clear, tropical marine waters: spatial and temporal variation of light intensity, degree of polarization and e-vector angle.
Sensitivity to polarized light is widespread among marine animals, including crustaceans, cephalopods and some fishes. They use this ability to orient and find prey, and possibly for a number of other visual tasks. Unlike the ultraviolet-sensitive polarization receptors of most insects, the polarization receptors of marine invertebrates tend to be maximally sensitive near 500 nm, suggesting tha...
متن کاملPatterns and statistics of in-water polarization under conditions of linear and nonlinear ocean surface waves
[1] We study the polarization properties of the light field under a dynamic ocean surface using realistic linear and nonlinear ocean surface waves. The three-dimensional polarized radiative transfer of the dynamic ocean–atmosphere system is considered using a Monte Carlo vector radiative transfer simulation for arbitrary depth. The program is validated with measurement data taken in Hawaii duri...
متن کاملPortable polarimetric underwater imaging system with a linear response
Polarized light plays an important role in the underwater environment. Light that is scattered within the water is partially polarized. Biological and artificial systems can exploit this phenomenon. We aim to utilize this phenomenon in a new generation of underwater imaging systems in order to partially compensate for the loss of color and visibility. In order to obtain quantitative measurement...
