General state contrast imaging: an optimized polarimetric imaging modality insensitive to spatial intensity fluctuations.
In active polarization imaging, one frequently needs to be insensitive to noninformative spatial intensity fluctuations. We investigate a way of solving this issue with general state contrast (GSC) imaging. It consists in acquiring two scalar polarimetric images with optimized illumination and analysis polarization states, then forming a ratio. We propose a method for maximizing the discriminat...
متن کاملContrast enhancement in polarimetric imaging with correlated noise fluctuations
We compare the measurement precision of a polarimetric camera to that of a simple intensity camera when imaging a partially polarized light-mark embedded in an intense and partially polarized background. We show that the gain in measurement precision while using a polarimetric camera is maximized when the noise fluctuations on the two polarimetric channels are significantly correlated. Further,...
متن کاملWhen is polarimetric imaging preferable to intensity imaging for target detection?
We consider target detection in images perturbed with additive noise. We determine the conditions in which polarimetric imaging, which consists of analyzing of the polarization of the light scattered by the scene before forming the image, yields better performance than classical intensity imaging. These results give important information to assess the interest of polarimetric imaging in a given...
متن کاملT-One insensitive Steady State Imaging (TOSSI): Obtaining TrueFISP images with pure T2 contrast
Synopsis A new concept is proposed for generation of purely T2 weighted images, even in the presence of signal from longitudinal relaxation. This is accomplished by imaging in between non-equally spaced 180°-pulses which alternatively flip the magnetization into states parallel and antiparallel to B0. With optimized timing, magnetization courses are identical for different T1s, which removes T1...
