Abstract

Degraded visual environments are a cause of problems for surveillance systems and other sensors due to the reduction in contrast, range, and signal. Fog is a concern because of the frequency of its formation along our coastlines; disrupting border security and surveillance. Sandia has created a Fog Facility for the characterization and testing of optical and other systems. We will present a comparison of our generated fogs to the measured naturally occurring fogs reported in the literature and an overview of Sandia’s work using this facility to investigate ways to enhance perception through degraded visual environments.
