    Abstract: A method of generating object surface texture in thermal infrared images is disclosed which includes receiving heat radiation from a scene by a spectropolarimetric imaging system, generating a plurality of spectral frames associated with the scene, each frame having a plurality of pixels, for each pixel from the generated plurality of spectral frames, extracting spectral information associated with the scene, including pixel-specific temperature representing an objects temperature, and thermal texture factor representing the objects texture, for each of a plurality of materials having a specific emissivity in a library, generating reference spectral information as a function of temperature and thermal texture, matching the extracted spectral information for each pixel from the generated plurality of spectral frames to the generated reference spectral information using a statistical method to minimize the associated variation, and extracting spectral metadata from the matched reference spectral information for the associated material based on the match.
