sfp_estimate_index — OPTICS shape_from_polarization op

使い方

Estimate the refractive index from DoLP observed at known zenith angles — a least-squares fit of the Fresnel curve, plus Brewster’s n = tan(theta_B) at the DoLP maximum for the specular model.

dolp and zenith_deg are maps of the same shape (the zenith from a coarse geometry such as a sphere’s silhouette, a CAD model or a coarse depth). The fit minimises sum (rho_model(theta; n) - dolp)^2 over mask with a coarse grid over n_bounds followed by a bounded scalar minimisation.

Returns a dict: refractive_index (the fit), rmse (DoLP units), n_pixels, model, and for the specular model brewster_index = tan of the zenith where DoLP is largest (with brewster_dolp, the DoLP there — far below 1 means the data never reached Brewster’s angle and the number is a lower bound, not an estimate).

The DoLP maximum by itself says nothing about n (the specular maximum is exactly 1 for every index); the index is in where the maximum falls, which is why a zenith map is required.

Raises ValueError: shapes differ; DoLP outside [0, 1] or zenith outside [0, 90]; fewer than 3 pixels in the mask; bounds not 1 < lo < hi; unknown model.
