Image Mosaicing for Enhanced Dynamic Image Range
Methods and systems for using image mosaicing to enhance the dynamic range of images are described. Additional characteristics of radiation signals received from scenes can also be determined.
Imager System Performs Image Value Measurements for Enlarged View and Enhanced Brightness
The method and system for imaging, comprises an imager to perform measurements for generating an image value. A polarization sensitivity characteristic of the imager includes reduced sensitivity to signal components having polarization angles outside an angular range. The imager is moved by rotating the imager with respect to the scene region. The imager is translated with respect to the scene region. The image values are used to determine a polarization state of the radiation ray bundles.
The system of imaging technique provides an enlarged field of view and enhanced brightness dynamic range. The system also provides spectral, polarization and depth information about a scene.
