Simulation of Polarization Image Based on Intensity Image

Abstract

Due to the limitation of industrial and civil fields of the polarization camera, we have developed a scheme for synthesizing polarization image based on intensity image and simulation technology. A whole process polarization or intensity transfer model from the incident solar light to the point at which the camera enters the pupil is set up based on 6SV. The indoor simulation test system of the target surface reflectivity is formed. The simulated polarization image is compared with the image directly obtained by the polarization camera under the same condition. Compared with the image from the polarization camera, we get the same trend of contrast information, while the target characteristic information is obviously improved for the intensity image and the error rate of the improved contrast does not exceed 12%.
