Snapshot Micropolarizer cameras

PolarCam: Innovative Sensors and Powerful Image Analysis

PolarCam snapshot micropolarizer cameras simultaneously capture a snapshot image of multiple polarization angles from each video frame, without image blur.

PolarCam Polarimeter Camera Description

Compact, fast and field-proven, these unique cameras enable a range of image enhancement techniques and polarimetric measurements, for applications in process control, medical imaging, remote sensing and more.

Micropolarizer technology enables the PolarCam’s broad spectral response, wide angular bandwidth and high extinction ratio. The micropolarizer array is bonded directly to the sensor and includes no moving parts, providing a fully solid state, Division of Focal Plane (DoFP) configuration.

What to expect

Micropolarizer technology enables PolarCam polarization cameras to acquire four polarization angles simultaneously.

PolarCam can be used for such techniques as image enhancement. In this simple demonstration, there are four parsed polarization image on the left, and on the right is the enhanced image. In the enhanced image, the contrast between the polarized light from the cars and the unpolarized light of the background becomes greatly increased.

4D PolarCams use 2448 x 2048 5.0 Megapixel sensors for high resolution, fast, blur-free images.
