Abstract

In this review paper, we present a previously proposed approach for the estimation of degree of polarization under low illumination conditions. To avoid the saturation problems, zeros from the denominator of the Degree of polarization calculation are excluded which changes the distribution of the photon detection from Poisson to a Truncated Poisson distribution. 3D polarimetric imaging experiments had been conducted via light field under low illumination environments to verify the proposed approach.
