Spectro-polarized imitation of vegetation

Abstract

Methods for creation of composite materials on the basis of vegetation are presented. Application of dry milled leaf of laurel as a basic component for the imitation of vegetative background is offered. Investigation of optical properties of the synthesized materials was carried out in range of wavelengths of 440–1040 nm. It was established that changing a state of the filler (milled leaf) and a technology of silicone based composite formation leads variation of the material optical properties in wide range of polarization and spectral brightness coefficient that makes possible imitation of different kind of vegetation. The examples of the possible use of the developed materials are discussed.
