We present a theoretical analysis on use of polarized light in the detection of a model target
in a scattering and absorbing medium similar to seawater. Monte Carlo numerical …

Detecting objects in turbid media by use of just radiance signals has been a subject of study
for many years. The use of Mueller matrix imaging methods has only recently been used as …

In this research, the Mueller matrix (MM) imaging polarimetry technique is used to
experimentally measure the MMs corresponding to the surface reflectance of turbid media in …

We review existing experimental data and methods for calculating the Mueller matrix of
ocean water for use as input in a simulation model applicable to laser remote sensing …

Polarization is an important property of several physical phenomena such as Rayleigh and
Raman (High intensity Raman Interactions: A. Penzkofer, A. Lauberteau, and W. Kaiser …

Sunken objects at sea such as lost ship cargo are often not detectable by conventional video
cameras because of their low contrast due to the high turbidity of the water column. A well …

We describe a method for increasing target contrast within a turbid medium by means of the
polarization state of the scattered light. The backscattered Mueller matrices for various …

We present both experimental and Monte Carlo–based simulation results for the diffusely
backscattered intensity patterns that arise from illumination of a turbid medium with a …

Depolarization has been found to be a useful contrast mechanism in biological and medical
imaging. The Mueller matrix can be used to describe polarization effects of a depolarizing …

We present both experimental measurements and Monte Carlo based simulations of the
diffusely backscattered intensity patterns which arise from illuminating a turbid medium with …
