Passive three-dimensional imaging using polarimetric diversity.

Three-dimensional polarimetric computational integral imaging.

In this paper, we propose a novel 3D polarimetric computational integral imaging system by using polarization diversity of objects under natural illumination conditions. In the system, the measured Stokes polarization parameters are utilized to generate degree of polarization images of a 3D scene. Based on degree of polarization images and original 2D images, we utilize a modified computational...

Target detection with a liquid-crystal-based passive Stokes polarimeter.

We present an imaging system that measures the polarimetric state of the light coming from each point of a scene. This system, which determines the four components of the Stokes vector at each spatial location, is based on a liquid-crystal polarization modulator, which makes it possible to acquire four-dimensional Stokes parameter images at a standard video rate. We show that using such polarim...

Airborne Measurements of Oceanic Wind Vector Fields Over the Labrador Sea Using Passive Polarimetric Radiometry

The focus of this research is to develop algorithms and aircraft and satellite remote sensing systems for imaging of ocean surface winds using passive microwave radiometers. The application of passive radiometry to ocean surface imaging, specifically using polarimetric microwave measurements of the third and fourth Stokes' parameters, has been identified as a potentially useful and low-cost mea...

Advances in three-dimensional integral imaging: sensing, display, and applications [Invited].

Three-dimensional (3D) sensing and imaging technologies have been extensively researched for many applications in the fields of entertainment, medicine, robotics, manufacturing, industrial inspection, security, surveillance, and defense due to their diverse and significant benefits. Integral imaging is a passive multiperspective imaging technique, which records multiple two-dimensional images o...
