Description
The Corvus LWIR is a cutting-edge scientific imaging instrument designed to facilitate advanced investigations in the Long-Wave InfraRed (LWIR) spectrum. This sophisticated device is engineered to capture and analyze the polarization characteristics of various scenes, making it an invaluable tool for researchers and professionals in the field of infrared imaging. With its robust architecture, the Corvus LWIR is equipped with a spinning linear polarizer, enabling the collection of the first three Stokes Vector elements—radiometric (S0), degree of horizontal polarization (S1), and degree of 45° polarization (S2)—on a per-pixel basis.
The Corvus LWIR stands out for its ability to provide detailed insights into the Degree of Linear Polarization (DoLP) and the Angle of Polarization (AoP). This capability makes it ideally suited for the investigation of polarization phenomenology in scenes that are largely static. The instrument's powerful software interface offers users complete control over the recording process, with six different recording options available. These options include automatic collection over extended periods, such as several diurnals, as well as manual start and stop controls, ensuring flexibility and precision in data collection.
Once data is collected, the Corvus LWIR's software further enhances the user experience by supporting comprehensive data analysis. Users can export imagery for detailed reports and perform spatial and temporal averaging of selected pixels, pixel areas, or lines of pixels. This feature-rich software provides a simple, intuitive, and powerful interface, making sensor control and data analysis both efficient and effective. The Corvus LWIR is a testament to Polaris Sensor Technologies, Inc.'s commitment to innovation and excellence in the field of infrared imaging.
