polarimetric dehazing methods have been proven to be effective in enhancing the quality of images acquired in turbid media. we report a new full-stokes polarimetric camera, which is based on the division of aperture structure. we design a kind of automatic polarimetric dehazing algorithm and load it into the field programmable gate array (fpga) modules of our designed polarimetric camera, achieving a real-time image haze removal with an output rate of 25 fps. we demonstrate that the image quality can be significantly improved together with a good color restoration. this technique might be attractive in a range of real-time outdoor imaging applications, such as navigation, monitoring, and remote sensing.
