Multiband polarization imaging is an emerging sensing method that enables simultaneous acquisition of multiband spectral and multiangle polarization information of an object of interest in the scene. Spectral signatures of the light reflected from a target reveal the characteristics of the material composing the target while polarized light provides useful information on the surface features such as light scattering and specular reflection. In multiband spectral imaging, combined spectral and polarization information offers a comprehensive representation of an object utilizing complementary spectral and polarization information in visual sensing. Multiband polarization imaging has demonstrated a potential in the recognition of targets in challenging operating environments such as low-contrast and hazy conditions. This paper presents the concept and recent advances of multiband polarization imaging techniques, in particular, a bioinspired multiband polarization vision system. Applications of multiband polarization imaging in various fields include atmospheric observation, object detection and classification, medical diagnostics, surveillance, and 3D object reconstruction.

Abstract. Firstly, the theory of polarization and Stokes vector are introduced. Secondly, according to Fresnel formula, energy conservation law and Kirchhoff' s law, a new model combining infrared reflected effect and emitted effect is developed to calculate the degree of polarization. Some experiments were carried out to examine the polarization of metal steel plates in the outdoor areas, and the results indicated that experimental data is nicely agreement with calculated data by this model. With the use of polarization calculated model, the difference of degree of polarization between small targets and sea surface background can be simulated. Finally, to validate correctness of the simulation some experiments were carried out to measure the polarization degree of sea scenarios. The experimental date are consistent with the simulations. The research result can be used to enhance the detection of ship target in sea background.
