Stokes-Informed Diffusion for Robust Linear Polarization Estimation
Yidong Luo, Chenggong Li, Yuchao Feng, Boxin Shi, Junchao Zhang, Xin Yuan
Polarization cues benefit applications such as material detection and de-reflection, yet acquiring them typically requires dedicated hardware. This motivates us to estimate the linear polarization from a single RGB image. However, the task is inherently ill-posed, with the Angle…
