TL;DR: The foundations of passive imaging polarimetry, the phenomenological reasons for designing a polarimetric sensor, and the primary architectures that have been exploited for developing imaging polarimeters are discussed.

TL;DR: The relationship between system condition and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in reconstructed Stokes parameter images is investigated for rotating compensator, variable retardance, and rotating analyzer Stokes vector (SV) polarimeters and the concept of nonorthogonal bases, frames, and tight frames is introduced to describe the operation of SV polarimeters.

TL;DR: The performance of the optimized system is demonstrated with simulated data, and the SNR is shown to increase from a worst case of -3.1 dB for the original settings to a best case of +5.0 dB forThe optimized system.

TL;DR: Here it is formally study IFOV error and the performance of several bilinear interpolation strategies used for reducing it, as well as two new approaches to integrating microgrid polarimeters into FPA systems.

TL;DR: An overview of polarimetric instrumentation in the optical regime geared towards a wide range of applications: atmospheric remote sensing, target detection, astronomy, biomedical applications, etc.
