Omni-directional polarization image capture using omni-directional camera and polarization filter

For detecting the road surface conditions, it is effective to use the polarization features. In this method, we use two cameras for taking vertical and horizontal polarized images at a time. But, we have to process the camera calibration. In this paper, to remove this processing, we propose omni-directional polarization image capture method using omni-directional camera and polarization filter. This method enables to take vertical and horizontal polarized images at a time, without using the camera calibration.
