Zusammenfassung:	The present disclosure relates to systems, vehicles, and methods relating 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 a first polarization or a second polarization. The system also includes a controller configured to carry out operations. The operations include receiving, from the at least one infrared detector, information indicative of infrared light corresponding to the target object. The operations also include determining, based on the received information, a polarization ratio corresponding to the target object. The polarization ratio comprises a first polarization intensity divided by a second polarization intensity. The operations also include determining, based on the polarization ratio, that the infrared light corresponding to the target object comprises direct light or reflected light.
