    Abstract: Systems and method for expanding a dynamic range associated with an image are disclosed. The method includes capturing an image of a scene via an imaging device using a single exposure. The image of the scene includes a plurality of polarization images corresponding to different angles of polarization, and each of the polarization images comprise a plurality of color channels. The method further includes determining a criterion for each of the plurality of color channels; selecting one color channel of the plurality of color channels based on determining of the criterion; generating a reconstructed image irradiance for the one color channel based on pixels in two or more of the plurality of polarization images obtained for the one color channel; and outputting a reconstructed image with the reconstructed image irradiance.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting an exposure parameter of an imaging device are disclosed. A first exposure level of the imaging device is identified, and a first image of a scene is captured via the imaging device at the first exposure level. The first image of the scene comprises a plurality of polarization images corresponding to different degrees and angles of polarization. Each of the polarization images comprise a plurality of color channels. A gradient for the first image is computed based on the plurality of the polarization images, and a second exposure level is computed based on the gradient. A second image of the scene is captured based on the second exposure level, where the gradient of the second image is greater than a gradient for the first image.

    Abstract: An optical system includes: a beam splitter system configured to split an input beam into a plurality of output beams including a first output beam, a second output beam, and a third output beam; a first polarizing filter having a first polarization angle and configured to filter the first output beam to produce a first filtered output beam; a second polarizing filter having a second angle of polarization and configured to filter the second output beam to produce a second filtered output beam; and a third polarizing filter having a third angle of polarization and configured to filter the third output beam to produce a third filtered output beam, the first, second, and third angles of polarization being different from one another.
