Patent number: 11930160Abstract: A polarization imaging unit 20 acquires a polarized image including polarization pixels with a plurality of polarization directions. An information compression unit 40 sets reference image information based on polarized image information of reference polarization pixels with at least a plurality of polarization directions in the polarized image and generates difference information between the polarized image information of each of polarization pixels different from the reference polarization pixels in the polarized image and the reference image information. In addition, the information compression unit 40 reduces the amount of information of the difference information generated for each of the polarization pixels with the plurality of polarization directions to generate compressed image information including the reference image information and the difference information with the reduced amount of information.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2019Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Yuhi Kondo, Yasutaka Hirasawa, Takefumi Nagumo, Toshinori Ihara, Teppei Kurita, Legong Sun
