Three-dimensional polarimetric integral imaging in photon-starved conditions: performance comparison between visible and long wave infrared imaging

Three-dimensional (3D) polarimetric integral imaging (InIm) to extract the 3D polarimetric information of objects in photon-starved conditions is investigated using a low noise visible range camera and a long wave infrared (LWIR) range camera, and the performance between the two sensors is compared....
