Polarization unlocks scene-level 3D imaging

Abstract

Scene-level high-precision 3D imaging remians a key challenge due to the trade-offs between imaging distance and accuracy. While polarization-based 3D imaging offers potential, it offen fails facing "discontinuous" targets—environments where multiple objects are separated by space resulting from surface normal integration. A recent work integrating binocular stereo vision with polarization information successfully recovers depth by iteration. This intergation-free appoach paves the way for scene-level high-precision 3D imaging and future applications.
