Imaging polarimetry is a branch of research that involves the use of polarized light to obtain additional information about an object or scene being imaged. By analyzing the way light waves are polarized as they interact with different materials, researchers can extract valuable information about the physical properties of the objects being studied, such as surface roughness, material composition, and orientation. Imaging polarimetry is commonly used in remote sensing applications, biomedical imaging, materials science, and other fields where detailed information about objects or surfaces is important.
