Review of spectral and polarization imaging systems (Conference Presentation)

Spectral and Polarization Imaging (SPI) is an emerging sensing method that combines the acquisition of both spectral and polarization information of a scene. It could benefit for various applications like appearance characterization from measurement, reflectance property estimation, diffuse/specular component separation, material classification, etc. In this paper, we present a review of recent SPI systems from the literature. We propose a description of the existing SPI systems in terms of technology employed, imaging conditions, and targeted application.
