Abstract
Active polarization imaging techniques have tremendous potential for a variety of underwater applications. However, multiple polarization images as input are necessary for almost all methods, thereby limiting the range of applicable scenarios. In this paper, via taking full advantage of the polarization feature of target reflective light, the cross-polarized backscatter image is reconstructed via introducing an exponential function for the first time, only based on mapping relations of co-polarized image. Compared with rotating the polarizer, the result performs a more uniform and continuous distribution of grayscale. Furthermore, the relationship of degree of polarization (DOP) between the whole scene and backscattered light is established. This leads to an accurate estimation of backscattered noise and high-contrast restored images. Besides, single-input greatly simplifies the experimental process and upgrades efficiency. Experimental results demonstrate the advancement of the proposed method for objects with high polarization under various turbidities.
