The polarized images are processed to present a final image or set of images that amplify the net polarizations inherent in the light scattered or reflected by the various pixels in the scene. Multiple embodiments are given, including an embodiment implemented on a standard smartphone, one implemented on a miniature camera system mounted on a pair of glasses, and an embodiment on a system utilizing two synchronized camera systems mounted on a pair of eyeglasses.
