Abstract

Extensive peer reviewed scientific research has demonstrated the utility of polarization difference imaging (PDI) to reveal subtle surface details and textures in poor lighting conditions caused by fog, smoke, clouds or turbid water. We present sample results of a new real time PDI camera showing the ability of the camera to enhanced imaging harsh environments, particularly in turbid water.
