A polarization reference imaging system to determine image of a target comprises three basic major elements. Such elements consist of transmitting means, a matrix of receiving systems and digital processing circuitry. The transmitting means consists of a transmitter and suitable optics for electromagnetically illuminating a target. The receiving systems consist of a matrix of receivers electromagnetically coupled to the target for receiving energy as reflected signals due to illumination of the target which signals are passed by the receiver substantially devoid of atmospheric distortion components. Each of the receivers of the receiving system provide a different weighting factor insofar as amplitude of the received signals is concerned, thereby enabling to obtain not only the shape of the target but also the various intensities of grays, blacks and white of the illuminated target. The digital system is connected for processing the received signals. Such digital system is capable of reconstructing the configuration and different shades of the target.
