Abstract
A multi-modal sensor system includes: an underlying sensor system; a polarization camera system configured to capture polarization raw frames corresponding to a plurality of different polarization states; and a processing system including a processor and memory, the processing system being configured to control the underlying sensor system and the polarization camera system, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: control the underlying sensor system to perform sensing on a scene and the polarization camera system to capture a plurality of polarization raw frames of the scene; extract first tensors in polarization representation spaces based on the plurality of polarization raw frames; and compute a characterization output based on an output of the underlying sensor system and the first tensors in polarization representation spaces.
