STACKED POLARIZER IMAGING

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present disclosure include apparatuses and method for stacked polarizer imaging. In a number of embodiments, a method can include activating a first polarization layer of a plurality of polarization layers, detecting a first image with an array of pixels from a light source input that is polarized when passed through the first polarization layer, and determining, via a controller coupled to the array of pixels, whether a quality of the first image that was polarized by the first polarization layer meets a threshold. A stacked polarizer can include a plurality of polarizers that are stacked upon each other such that a light source input can be passed through the stack of polarizers and be detected by a pixel of an image sensor cell. Each of the polarizers in the stack of polarizers can be individually activated and deactivated.
