Abstract:Polarization is an important feature of electromagnetic waves, and it can be affected by surface shapes, materials, local curvature and features, and relative location of sources and objects, and thus it can provide useful information about the observed scene and objects. Of the several characteristics of visible light, only two -intensity and wavelength -are encoded by the human eye and subsequently mapped by the visual system into perceptual qualities. Intensity is mapped to brightness and wavelength informa… Show more
