- W2018636803 abstract "The light environment within forests presents complex patterns of brightness and spectral distribution of light. The polarized light field is no less complex. Using an imaging polarized light analyzer, we examined the natural fields of linearly polarized light in the tropical rain forest of Guatopo National Park, Venezuela. We found that the celestial polarization pattern remains visible underneath the forest canopy, although cloud and fog coverage may diffuse the light and reduce the polarization signal. We characterized several distinct light environments, each having a characteristic polarized light field. Furthermore, objects throughout the forest reflect light that is polarized in a predictable fashion depending upon the material, structure, and orientation of the reflecting surface. As a consequence of these patterns in the distribution of polarized light, some functions of polarization vision, such as navigation, must be limited to the spaces exposed to several extended portions of the sky, while others, such as remote sensing of surface orientation, object detection, and breaking of camouflage would be useful throughout the forest. The polarization of light adds another dimension to the complexity of the rain forest photic environment. La luz ambiental dentro de la jungla presents complejos patrones de brillo y distribución espectral de luz. El campo de la luz polarizada no es menos complejo. Usando un analizador de imagenes de luz polarizada, nosotros examinamos los campos naturales de luz polarizada linear en el bosque tropical del Parque Nacional de Guatopo, Venezuela. Encontramos que el patrón de polarización celestial permanece visible debajo de la cubierta del bosque, aun cuando una cubierta de nubes y neblina puede dispersar la luz y reducir la señal de polarización. Nosotros caracterizamos varios ambientes de luz diferente, cada uno teniendo un campo de luz polarizada característico. Además, objetos en todo el bosque reflejan la luz que es polarizada en una forma predecible dependiendo sobre el material, estructura y orientación de la superficie reflectante. Como una consequencia de estos patrones en la distribución de la luz polarizada, algunas funciones de visión polarizada, tales como la navegación, deben estar limitadas a los espacios expuestos a grandes extensiones de cielo, mientra otras, tales como la percepción remota de la orientación de superficies, la detección de objetos, y el quebrantar el camuflage puede ser útiles dentro del bosque. La polarización de la luz adiciona otra dimensión a la complejidad del ambiente fótico del bosque." @default.
