Multi-band Polarization Imaging and Applications (Advances in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition)

This book
introduces the optical multi-band polarization imaging theory and the
utilization of the multi-band polarimetric information for detecting the
camouflage object and the optical hidden marker, and enhancing the visibility
in bad weather and water. The book describes systematically and in detail the
basic optical polarimetry theory; provides abundant multi-band polarimetric
imaging experiment data; and indicates practical evaluation methods for
designing the multi-band polarization imager, for analyzing and modeling the
object’s multi-band polarization characteristics, and for enhancing the vision
performance in scattering media. This book shows the latest research results of
multi-band polarimetric vision, especially in camouflage object detection,
optical hidden marker detection and multi-band polarimetric imagery fusion.
From this book, readers can get a complete understanding about multi-band
polarimetric imaging and its application in different vision tasks.
