Abstract

Aiming at the reflected highlight in remote sensing, we propose a new method of removing reflected highlight in polarimetric images. This method is based on reflection physical model, only requiring four polarization images and reflection angle; the original intensities of target which is under water or other crystals can be calculated by Stokes parameters accurately. Comparing to conventional polarization methods, experimental results show that proposed method can remove the glitters more effectively and reserve the original characteristic of target as much as possible. This new method does not need to restrict the specific observation angle and time so that it has more versatility. This new method improves reflected highlight image quality and it can be considered very suitable in water and polarization remote sensing.
