Abstract

The importance of polarization imaging comes from the rich set of information it can provide about the observed scene. The question of how to develop imaging systems that record spatially dependent patterns due to diffusely scattered or transmitted polarized light by objects is problematic because of the many parameters which are at play. Based on their spectral and polarization signatures and a correlation algorithm, experimental data are presented which show how to identify and localize a target in a scene.
