The invention discloses a snapshot type full-polarization imaging detection device, which can be used for acquiring two-dimensional spatial polarization information in real time. The snapshot type full-polarization imaging detection device consists of a front optical lens group, a full-polarization modulation module, an imaging lens group, an area-array detector and a data acquiring and processing system which are arranged in sequence along a light incidence direction. In the snapshot type full-polarization imaging detection device, the full-polarization modulation module consisting of three Wollaston prisms is adopted, the full-polarization information, including respective corresponding two-dimensional spatial images of 0-degree, 90-degree, + / -45-degree, levorotation and dextrorotation circular polarization components, of a detected target at a certain moment and at a certain detection azimuth angle can be obtained by snapshotting one frame of image, and a corresponding two-dimensional spatial graph of all Stokes polarization parameters can be obtained by processing with a simple algebra algorithm. The snapshot type full-polarization imaging detection device has a potential application value in the fields of astronomical observation, space exploration, earth remote sensing, machine vision, biomedical diagnosis and the like.
