Effect of sensor SNR and extinction ratio on polarimetric imaging error for nanowire-based systems
Abstract:
High-sensor SNR and high extinction ratio (ER), which are often contradictory requirements for nanowire-filter-based polarimetric imaging systems, aid in attenuating polarimetric imaging system errors. Expressions were derived to analyze their attenuation effects and then simplified using photoelectronic numbers received by superpixels (PNRS). The first-derivative ratios of PNRS and ER were calculated to compare their attenuation effects. Mathematical models and experiments conducted using polarimetric imaging systems with various ERs and PNRSs indicate that systems with low PNRS and high ER exhibit a polarization error affected more by the attenuation effect of the PNRS than that of the ER. When the system ER is higher than 28, the attenuation effect of the PNRS is higher than that of the ER. Thus, system error attenuation is a trade-off between sensor SNR and ER.

Generalization, Discrimination, and Extinction
Generalization occurs when a behavior reinforced in one context is performed in similar situations. For instance, a student who studies diligently for calculus and receives excellent grades might apply the same study habits to psychology and history, expecting similar results. Generalization shows how learning in one setting can influence behavior in...

Sampling errors originate from improper sampling methods or the wrong sample population. These errors can be minimized by refining the sampling strategy. Defective instruments or faulty calibrations are the sources of instrumental...
