This paper looks at a new data set that has been designed to analyze the various impacts of illumination change on targets. Similar targets were placed on different backgrounds where spectral signatures were analyzed to determined impacts of background type. Targets were also placed next to tree lines where they were fully illuminated but with the possible impact of tree shine. Hyperspectral, multispectral, and LiDAR modalities were used to image the targets in the above mentioned scenarios. Applications such as target detection with results are used to assess difficulties with finding such targets and impacts on illumination.
