Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of weak light imaging and polarized optical imaging, in particular to a single-photon compression polarized imaging device and method. Background technique [0002] As a new type of detection technology, polarization imaging technology can not only detect the intensity information of the target, but also obtain imaging information from light intensity, spectrum, space, degree of polarization, polarization angle, polarization ellipticity, and rotation direction. At present, polarization imaging technology has been applied in the fields of optical remote sensing, atmospheric fog penetration, camouflage target detection and underwater target detection. The polarization imaging technology scheme is closely related to the polarization imaging classification. It is divided according to the same pixel polarization component acquisition method, including aperture (ApertureDivision) polarization imaging, amplitude division (Amplitu...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

It uses a laser as a light source to output parallel polarized light and adds a polarizer in front of the photomultiplier tube to receive polarization signals. Each measurement can only obtain polarization information in one direction, and the polarization information is not rich enough. Its system does not use FPGA to monitor each part of the system. Module integration for control, the operation is more cumbersome
