偏振线索有助于材料检测和去反射等应用,但传统获取需专用硬件。为此,我们提出GenPolar,一种基于穆勒形式主义的斯托克斯引导扩散框架,仅需单张RGB图像即可估计线性偏振。该方法从强度信号S0预测通道级线性斯托克斯分量S1、S2,进而解析计算偏振度(DoLP)和偏振角(AoP),并引入可观测性感知损失优化AoP。为实现高效高保真推理,采用两阶段训练:先以物理驱动损失训练多步条件扩散模型,再蒸馏为单步生成器,并支持对VAE编码器进行低秩自适应(LoRA)以缓解域偏差。在旋转偏振器、焦平面分割及混合数据集上的实验表明,GenPolar在DoLP保真度和AoP稳定性上均达当前最优。关键的是,这些改进显著提升了下游任务性能,包括材料检测与去反射。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Polarization cues benefit applications such as material detection and de-reflection, yet acquiring them typically requires dedicated hardware. This motivates us to estimate the linear polarization from a single RGB image. However, the task is inherently ill-posed, with the Angle of Polarization (AoP) becoming particularly unstable in weak polarization regions, where the polarimetric signal is overwhelmed by noise, leading to erratic angle estimates. To address these limitations, we propose GenPolar, a Stokes-informed diffusion framework grounded in the Mueller formalism from an intensity observation. Specifically, GenPolar predicts channel-wise linear Stokes components (S1,S2) from intensity S0, from which degree of linear polarization (DoLP) and AoP are analytically derived; AoP is further supervised with an observability-aware loss. In addition, to enable efficient and high-fidelity inference, we adopt a two-stage training strategy. Firstly, a multi-step conditional diffusion model is trained with a physics-based loss. Subsequently, we distill it into a one-step generator, which further supports stable Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) of the VAE encoder to mitigate domain-specific autoencoding bias. Extensive experiments across rotating-polarizer, division-of-focal-plane, and hybrid datasets demonstrate that GenPolar achieves state-of-the-art performance in both DoLP fidelity and AoP stability. Crucially, these improvements translate to significant and consistent gains in downstream applications, including material detection and de-reflection.
