Extract information of polarization imaging from local matching stereo

subject

description

Since polarization of light was used in the field of computer vision, the research of polarization vision is rapidly growing. Polarization vision has been shown to simplify some important image understanding tasks that can be more difficult to be performed with intensity vision. Furthermore, it has computational efficiency because it only needs grayscale images and can be easily applied by a simple optical setup. Nowadays, we can find various types of polarization cameras in the market. However, they are very expensive. In our work, we will study and develop a low price polarization camera setup with parallel acquisition using a stereo system. This system requires only two general cameras equipped with three types of rotator polarizer in front of them. Polarization information are obtained by taking two images. Calculations are based on stereo matching to get the angle and degree of Polarization.
