Abstract

Polarized light transport into a scattering media can be modeled using polarization sensitive Monte Carlo programs. This Chapter will illustrate one such programs based on quaternion algebra. In the program the polarization reference plane is tracked using two unit-vectors u and v, quaternions are used to accomplish the rotation of the polarization reference plane. Comparison with Adding Doubling models showed that our Monte Carlo algorithm yields results with less than 1% error.
