An Evaluation of Skylight Polarization Patterns for Navigation

An Evaluation of Skylight Polarization Patterns for Navigation

Skylight polarization provides a significant navigation cue for certain polarization-sensitive animals. However, the precision of the angle of polarization (AOP) of skylight for vehicle orientation is not clear. An evaluation of AOP must be performed before it is utilized. This paper reports an eval...
