Time-resolved polarization

Tracking the polarization of light in transient rendering is posible using the *_polarized variants of Mitsuba. mitransient is configured to support polarized variants without requiring any additional changes from the user. Additionally, we provide a suite of visualization functions that help you visualize the polarization in your transient renders.

We also provide support for transient polarized NLOS simulation [PueyoCiutad2024].
