Data for "Polarization enhancement of contrast through a water surface"

In this project, we imaged underwater scenes from above water and characterized the improvement of scene contrast when adding a vertical polarizer. We characterized this improvement as a function of angle and while changing variables such as the color of the reflected background. This dataset includes the images used in this study. For folders with RGB data, the folder contains four raw images at each angle saved as a .png file. For folders with monochrome data, the folder contains an average of four raw images per angle saved as a .mat file.
