Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

Polarization state is usually represented by Stokes vector, and only the first three components are used in the field of polarization remote sensing, but in some application fields (such as underwater imaging and defogging detection), the fourth component has more abundant circular polarization information and cannot be ignored.
