Benefits of technology

This patented technology proposes an improved way to measure opaque surfaces by measuring their reflectivity or other properties through polarizing images taken from different angles around them. By comparing these measurements against known values stored within certain tables, it provides technical means that help make accurate measurement of such objects easier than current techniques like interference fringe analysis (IFA).

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical describes an improved technique called polarimetry that allows us to measure changes caused by external sources like sunlight without being affected by their own characteristics. By analyzing reflected signals through various techniques, we aim to improve the performance of polarimeters while reducing complexity and improving production costs.

Abstract

The invention relates to a polarization imaging system point-by-point calibration method and belongs to the technical field of polarization imaging. A plurality of sets of four-channel polarization images are collected through the polarization imaging system, and the ratio of the intensity of emergent light of an edge view field to the intensity of a center view field is calculated by applying a large-view-field axis external oblique light beam incident polarization imaging theory; the stokes vector of polarized light of the edge view field is obtained according to the normalized stokes vectorof the linearly polarized light of the center view field; then according to an instrument matrix and the relation between the stokes vectors and the channel intensity, a point-by-point instrument matrix of each set of four-channel images is obtained; finally, a least square method is applied to obtain the calibrated point-by-point instrument matrixes. According to the method, the calculated polarization degree and polarization angle information of a polarization imaging system calibrated by the point-by-point instrument matrixes are more accurate and approximate to theoretical values. Therefore, the problem that the precision of a traditional calibration method is insufficient is solved, detection errors of the polarization imaging system are reduced, and the precision of polarization imaging detection is improved.
