First, it gathers typical polarization patterns occurring in nature. Second, it surveys the polarization-sensitive ani- mals, the physiological mechanisms and biological functions of polarization sensitivity as weIl as the polarization-guided behaviour in animals. The monograph is prepared for biologists, physicists and meteorologists, espe- cially for experts of atmospheric optics and animal vision, who wish to under- stand and reveal the message hidden in polarization patterns of the optical environment not directly accessible to the human visual system, but measur- able by polarimetry and perceived by many animals. Our volume is an attempt to build a bridge between these two physical and biological flelds. In Part I we introduce the reader to the elements of imaging polarimetry. This technique can be efflciently used, e. g. in atmospheric optics, remote sens- ing and biology. In Part 11 we deal with typical polarization patterns of the natural optical environment. Sunrise/sunset, clear skies, cloudy skies, moonshine and total solar eclipses all mean quite different illumination conditions, wh ich also affect the spatial distribution and st | 出版日期 | Book 20041st edition | 關(guān)鍵詞 | animals orientation; imaging; imaging polarimetry; optical environment; perception; physiology; polarizati | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-09387-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-07334-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-662-09387-0 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2004 |
