These two are linear polarizers, and the polarization directions of the first polarizer and the second polarizer are perpendicular to each other. During the imaging process, a near-infrared beam emitted from a near-infrared light source is modulated into a linearly polarized light with a certain angle when passing through the second polarizer. Then, it is irradiated onto a subject and the light is reflected due to the specular reflection effect of the subject turns into a cross-polarized light when passing through the first polarizer. The linearly polarized light perpendicular to the polarization angle of the first polarizer is intercepted, that is, the reflected light is intercepted.
