Polarization-Difference Imaging: Biophysical Mechanisms and EngineeringApplications to Visibility Enhancement in Scattering Media

摘要

In the past nine months we have continued our work on polarization differencevision and imaging and their engineering potential applications to underwater observation and imaging of targets in scattering media. We have investigated various aspects of polarization-difference polarization-sensitive vision in certain vertebrates, namely, green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus) and pigeons (Columbia livia).
