As a new detection technology, polarization imaging is of great significance in the field of target detection. At present, polarization imaging technology usually adopts visible light polarization imaging. The technique is difficult to image the target in complex background due to its narrow working spectrum and short detection distance. Therefore, based on the principle of full Stokes micro-polarizer array, this paper proposes a multi-spectral polarization imaging scheme and designs a multi-spectral polarization imaging detection system penetrating haze. Conducting indoor and outdoor polarized imaging experiments. Finally, image quality was assessed using metrics such as information entropy (EN), average gradient (AG), and standard deviation (STD). The results show that compared with traditional strength detection, the imaging system has significantly improved detection distance and imaging quality in smoky environments. The imaging system can effectively enhance the contours and details of the target object and improve detection and recognition capabilities.
