Application of a modified evolutionary algorithm for the optimization of data acquisitionto improve the accuracy of a video-polarimetric system

Abstract

The use of the polarimetry techniques for display and study of biological tissues has gained increasing interest in recent years. This interest is related mainly to the non-invasiveness, relatively low cost, and ease of application among other characteristics. However, for full use of these advantages, the calibration methods must ensure the minimization of the effects of uncertainties related to the optical element positioning and the noise in intensities measurements.
