Abstract
Linear and non-linear components analysis of data from a monostatic laser polarimeter is applied to the task of remote, non-imaging discrimination among different material conditions on paint and polymer coupons independent of their spatial orientations. We find that polarized scattering trajectories lie on highly constrained manifolds in 16-dimensional space, and can therefore be used to accurately monitor the surface state of a known material.
