A computer-implemented method for computing a prediction on images of a scene includes: receiving one or more polarization raw frames of a scene, the polarization raw frames being captured with a polarizing filter at a different linear polarization angle; extracting one or more first tensors in one or more polarization representation spaces from the polarization raw frames; and computing a prediction regarding one or more optically challenging objects in the scene based on the one or more first tensors in the one or more polarization representation spaces.

Systems and methods for transparent object segmentation using polarization cues

A method of performing surface profilometry includes receiving one or more polarization raw frames of a printed layer of a physical object undergoing additive manufacturing, the one or more polarization raw frames being captured at different polarizations by one or more polarization cameras, extracting one or more polarization feature maps in one or more polarization representation spaces from the one or more polarization raw frames, obtaining a coarse layer depth map of the printed layer, generating one or more surface-normal images based on the coarse layer depth map and the one or more polarization feature maps, and generating a 3D reconstruction of the printed layer based on the one or more surface-normal images.

Systems and methods for surface normals sensing with polarization
