Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure relates to systems, vehicles, and methods related to imaging and object detection using polarization-based detection of infrared light. An example system includes at least one infrared detector configured to detect infrared light corresponding to a target object within a field of view. The infrared light includes at least one of the first polarization or the second polarization. The system also includes a controller configured to perform an operation. The operation includes receiving, from the at least one infrared detector, information indicative of infrared light corresponding to the target object. The operations also include determining a polarization ratio corresponding to the target object based on the received information. The polarization ratio includes dividing the first polarization intensity by the second polarization intensity. The operations further include determining, based on the polarization ratio, that the infrared light corresponding to the target object includes direc
