What is a Polarsens™ Polarization Image Sensor?

Polarsens™ is Sony’s advanced polarization sensor technology designed to improve imaging in environments with high reflections and challenging lighting conditions. Unlike traditional sensors, Polarsens™ polarization image sensors capture light filtered in four different polarization angles simultaneously, reducing glare and enhancing material distinction.
