Public Profile

Polaris Sensor Technologies Inc supplies custom systems for visible, IR, and polarimetric sensing for military and commercial applications. The firm has expertise in the development and testing of advanced sensors and algorithms, as well as Infrared/thermal imaging and polarizers. Using a staff of specialists in the fields of polarimetry, optics, electro-optics and opto-mechanical design, the firm delivers novel solutions that meet stringent customer requirements. Applications of the firm's technology include maritime detection of oil and diesel fuels; vehicle automation: including localization and navigation in GPS denied environments, automated roadway detection, and traffic management; facial recognition; camouflaged object detection; infrared search and track; intelligence reconnaissance surveillance; far target locators; and non-incendiary obscurants. Polaris has dedicated years of development to polarization-based imaging systems for military and scientific entities. Commercial systems derived from these efforts provide daylight detail in the dark and visibility in low contrast conditions with real-time image processing. Combined with its eThermĀ® vision enhancement software, Polaris sensors capture, measure, display, and enhance images which can be colorized to display critical data.
