The invention relates to a dual-waveband active-polarization target identification system for observing a sea fog environment and belongs to the technical field of optical information processing. The system comprises a light source, a first light splitting system, an active polarization transmission system, a collimating and beam-expanding system, a second light splitting system, a dual-waveband polarization detection system, a joint-transform power spectrum generation system, a related peak generation system, a receiving system I, a receiving system II and a computer processing and controlling system. The detection principle of the traditional joint transform correlator is adopted, the advantages of polarization and infrared technologies in target detection are combined, and the existing passive detection mode is converted into an active polarization detection mode, so that the probability of target detection is increased. In the transmission system, a light splitting mode is adopted, and only one light source is adopted to complete active detection and target identification; in the receiving systems, a rotary control turntable is adopted, the system light path is simplified, the number of devices used by the systems is least on the premise of guaranteeing the quality of target identification, the operation is simple and convenient, and the implementation is easy.
