Description

Polarization information measuring system and method of array type polarization camera
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of polarization information measurement systems and methods, in particular to a polarization information measurement system and method of an array type polarization camera.
Background
Polarization is one of the fundamental properties of electromagnetic waves, and polarized light is an important property possessed by light waves. Most vertebrates (including humans) cannot perceive this light modality; in contrast, many invertebrates, including insects, arachnids, cephalopods, and stomata, have evolved to be able to detect light-sensitive cells with high dynamic range polarization information and to use this information in visually guided behavior. As with many animals, human vision is capable of visual perception over a wide range of brightness, allowing our eyes to function properly under disparate high contrast lighting conditions. However, digital cameras rely primarily on imaging sensors with 8-bit brightness, much narrower than the human visual range. For a long time, techniques have been sought to increase the dynamic range of images taken by cameras to better interpret and understand the scene.
The rapid development of imaging technology has brought us with new arrayed polarization sensors, such as deflection cameras, so that we can conveniently detect polarized light. Such cameras are widely used in 3D reconstruction, object detection, robotics. However, the conventional method cannot restore visual information in a High Dynamic Range (HDR) scene, so that the visibility of an image in a dark or bright area is greatly reduced. The polarization information calculation is inaccurate due to overexposure or underexposure in scenes with large-range illumination changes, for example, a shiny metal object reflects illumination light in a mirror surface mode, so that a camera is saturated and does not carry any information, and the application of the camera is influenced.
Therefore, it is necessary to design a new polarization information measuring system and method for the array type polarization camera.
