Abstract
Apparatus and methods for detecting and analyzing spectral polarimetric images are disclosed. Spectral polarimetric images are detected by selecting spectral bands of light within light received from a light source and capturing polarimetric images of the selected spectral bands of light. Spectral polarimetric images are analyzed by converting spectral polarimetric images to Stokes images and selecting two or more of the Stokes images for analysis.
