Show affiliationsThis paper presents an adaptive polarimetric filtering method to optimize target scattering behaviour in laser imagery. Knowledge of a target's Mueller matrix permits one to calculate its polarization signature. Analysing this signature outlines some particular states of polarization. These states are directly related to the scattering properties of the given target. Using these optimum polarizations for transmission and reception either enhances or removes the associated scattering behaviour.
