The Degree of Linear Polarization (DoLP) is a key dimension of information in polarization imaging. The quality of polarization images is greatly affected by imaging equipment and environmental factors. Therefore, an enhancement method for the DoLP image is proposed in this paper. First, a super-resolution reconstruction algorithm based on the Detail Enhancement Guided Image Filter is proposed to solve the problem of mosaicization and pseudo-polarization information caused by the degradation of spatial resolution and super-resolution reconstruction of DoFP imaging. Second, for the problem of rapid degradation of polarization image quality caused by hazy environment, a DoLP enhancement algorithm based on multi-channel difference Signal-to-Noise Ratio is proposed to improve the visual effect of polarization images in different scenes with hazy environment. The method proposed in this paper implements super-resolution reconstruction, demosaicing, pseudo-polarization information removal, and adaptive enhancement of DoLP images in DoFP systems.

Infrared imaging theory is an important theoretical basis for the design of infrared imaging systems, but there is no research on infrared imaging theory for designing thermal microscope imaging systems. Therefore, we studied the performance evaluation and optimization theory of thermal microscope imaging systems. In this paper, we analyzed the difference in spectral radiant flux between thermal microscope imaging and telephoto thermal imaging. The expression of signal-to-noise ratio of the output image of the thermal microscope imaging systems was derived, based on the analysis of the characteristics of thermal microscope imaging. We studied the performance evaluation model of thermal microscope imaging systems based on the minimum resolvable temperature difference and the minimum detectable temperature difference. Simulation and analysis of different detectors (ideal photon detector and ideal thermal detector) were also carried out. Finally, based on the conclusion of theoretical research, we carried out a system design and image acquisition experiment. The results show that the theoretical study of thermal microscope imaging systems in this paper can provide reference for the performance evaluation and optimization of thermal microscope imaging systems.

In recent years, jellyfish outbreaks have frequently occurred in offshore areas worldwide, posing a significant threat to the marine fishery, tourism, coastal industry, and personal safety. Effective monitoring of jellyfish is a vital method to solve the above problems. However, the optical detection method for jellyfish is still in the primary stage. Therefore, this paper studies a jellyfish detection method based on convolution neural network theory and digital image processing technology. This paper studies the underwater image preprocessing algorithm because the quality of underwater images directly affects the detection results. The results show that the image quality is better after applying the three algorithms namely prior defogging, adaptive histogram equalization, and multi-scale retinal enhancement, which is more conducive to detection. We establish a data set containing seven species of jellyfishes and fish. A total of 2141 images are included in the data set. The YOLOv3 algorithm is used to detect jellyfish, and its feature extraction network Darknet53 is optimized to ensure it is conducted in real-time. In addition, we introduce label smoothing and cosine annealing learning rate methods during the training process. The experimental results show that the improved algorithms improve the detection accuracy of jellyfish on the premise of ensuring the detection speed. This paper lays a foundation for the construction of an underwater jellyfish optical imaging real-time monitoring system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
