Abstract : Performance bounds (Cramer-Rao bounds on root-mean-square errors) are computed for the estimation of the degree of polarization for reflected fields with active laser illumination Proc. SPIE 5888 58880N (2005). The bounds are computed from various sensing modalities which involves the measurement and processing of (1) the four intensities outputs of a four-channel polarimeter (2) the intensities of two orthogonal field components and (3) the total intensity of the field. Each modality includes detector noise models and utilizes realistic data-collection models.    less
