1.1 Propagation of continuous-wave light in tissues 3 1.1. 1 Basic principles, and major
scatterers and absorbers 3 1.1. 2 Theoretical description 11 1.1. 3 Monte Carlo simulation …

Images of outdoor scenes captured in bad weather suffer from poor contrast. Under bad
weather conditions, the light reaching a camera is severely scattered by the atmosphere …

We present an approach for easily removing the effects of haze from passively acquired
images. Our approach is based on the fact that usually the natural illuminating light scattered …

Vision in scattering media is important but challenging. Images suffer from poor visibility due
to backscattering and attenuation. Most prior methods for scene recovery use active …

This book introduces some of the recent key developments in polarization optical methods
that have made possible the quantitative studies of tissues and biological cells essential to …

Propagation of light into scattering media is a complex problem that can be modeled using
statistical methods such as Monte Carlo. Few Monte Carlo programs have so far included …

A detailed study, based on a Monte Carlo algorithm, of polarized light propagation in
birefringent turbid media is presented in this paper. Linear birefringence, which results from …
