• Abstract: Polarisation Filter Array (PFA) cameras allow the analysis of light polarisation state in a simple and cost-effective manner. Such filter arrays work as the Bayer pattern for colour cameras, sharing similar advantages and drawbacks. Among the others, the raw image must be demosaiced considering the local variations of the PFA and the characteristics of the imaged scene. Non-linear effects, like the cross-talk among neighbouring pixels, are difficult to explicitly model and suggest the potential advantage of a data-driven learning approach. However, the PFA cannot be removed from the sensor, making it difficult to acquire the ground-truth polarization state for training. In this work we propose a novel CNN-based model which directly demosaics the raw camera image to a per-pixel Stokes vector. Our contribution is twofold. First, we propose a network architecture composed by a sequence of Mosaiced Convolutions operating coherently with the local arrangement of the different filters. Second, we introduce a new method, employing a consumer LCD screen, to effectively acquire real-world data for training. The process is designed to be invariant by monitor gamma and external lighting conditions. We extensively compared our method against algorithmic and learning-based demosaicing techniques, obtaining a consistently lower error especially in terms of polarisation angle.

  Low-light image enhancement, particularly in cross-domain tasks such as mapping from the raw domain to the sRGB domain, remains a significant challenge. We present a novel Mamba scanning mechanism, called RAWMamba, to effectively handle raw images with different CFAs. We also present a Retinex Decomposition Module (RDM) grounded in Retinex prior, which decouples illumination from reflectance to facilitate more effective denoising and automatic non-linear exposure correction.

We apply this system to the task of incoherent opto-electronic filtering, where digital spatial-filtering operations are replaced by simpler, per-pixel sums.

  A microgrid image polarimeter enables us to acquire a set of polarization images in one shot. Since the polarimeter consists of an image sensor equipped with a monochrome or color polarization filter array, the demosaicking process to interpolate missing pixel values plays a crucial role in obtaining high-quality polarization images. We propose a novel MPFA demosaicking method based on edge-aware residual (EARI) and also extend it to CPFA demosaicking.
