Data-driven polarimetric approaches fuel computational imaging expansion

Abstract

Incorporating polarization in computer vision tasks provides new solutions to high-level analytics, in particular when coupled with machine learning frameworks such as convolutional neural networks (CNN). A recent review in <italic>Opto-Electronic Science</italic> reports on the developments in data-driven polarimetric imaging, including polarimetric descattering, 3D imaging, reflection removal, target detection and biomedical imaging. The review carefully analyzes these new trends with their advantages and disadvantages, and provides a general insight for future research and development.
