  1. On Controlling Light Transport in Poor Visibility Environments Mohit Gupta Srinivasa G. Narasimhan Yoav Y. Schechner Light Transport in Scattering Media How to Illuminate the Scene in Poor Visibility Environments? 1. Flood Lighting 3. Confocal Imaging [Levoy et al] • Backscatter degrades visibility Treibitz et al, CVPR06 edsphotoblog.com Object Floodlit (Low contrast) Scanning Coded aperture Synthetic aperture Signal S(x,y) Backscatter 2. High-frequency Illumination [Nayar et al] 4. Light Stripe Scanning [Narasimhan et al] Direct (High noise) Global (Low contrast) Less backscatter Light striping input Increased contrast Improving Image Contrast using Polarization + Light Stripe Scanning Increasing image contrast Increasing image contrast Unpolarized vs. Polarized Light Striping Strong scattering Polarized flood lighting Unpolarized light striping Polarized light striping Unpolarized light stripe Polarized light stripe Difference Removed backscatter Flood lighting Polarized light striping Comparison • No post-processing Where to Place the Camera and the Source for the Best Image Quality? Large camera-source separation Small camera-source separation The optimal light stripe scan The optimal separation for flood-lighting Rotating Translating Combination Image contrast ? OR Delineation of light-plane stripe High contrast High noise Low contrast Low noise SNR Image quality versus separation Optimal separation Image from the optimal scan Image quality versus separation Large separation High noise
