Multifusion, Multispectral, Optical Polarimetric Imaging Sensing Principles

The goal of this study is to present novel, multifusion optical imaging sensing principles, based on active-multispectral polarimetric imaging of targets surrounded by scattered media. Specifically, the novelty of this study consists in the fusion of multispectral images, with polarimetric imaging principles, forming image differences. The experimental results indicate clearly that, high-contrast multispectral Mueller polarimetric image differences, as well as Degree of Linear Polarization (DOLP) images can be obtained from transmitted or backscattered photons, from targets embedded in turbid media
