Abstract
The goal of this study is to present novel, multifusion, optical imaging sensing principles, based on laser polarimetric imaging of targets surrounded by scattered media, using the Mueller matrices based formalism. Specifically, the novelty of the imaging system consists in the fusion of dual-energy imaging principles, with polarimetric imaging principles at varying focal lengths and exposures. The experimental results indicate clearly that, high specificity images can be obtained by transmitted and scattered photons from several media, by means of the proposed technique.
