This paper is intended as a short follow-up to our last publication on the use of polarization-based imaging techniques and metrology applications. With their increasing resolution, memory availability and computing capacity, smartphones have become a common means for image and video documentation, geodetic and metrological data acquisition and similar applications in recent years. We are investigating concepts for smartphone-based polarimetric image acquisition and evaluation in field measurement campaigns. Technical applications are, for example, the mobile examination of larger areas with regard to contamination, damage to coatings, corrosion and the like, but also artistic photography, e.g. for paintings and sculptures. In addition to pure data acquisition, image pre-processing and analysis can be carried out in the field by means of mobile image processing applications. In the paper we discuss such concepts, their feasibility and robust extensions for smartphones that could lead to applications that actually take advantage of the smartphone's mobility.
The present paper is understood as a short manuscript to a graphical poster. It is a follow up to a recent paper on a project in arts and science with the privately owned Museum of Future in Berlin and the Foundation for German-Polish Cooperation, which was celebrating 100 years of Kaluza's 5th Dimension in a geographically distributed interactive hybrid exhibition. The co-operation was continued and became inspirational for the students of a new master's degree program in electrical engineering. In the first group of students several student papers were involved in and inspired by our projects and delivered input. Two master's theses in progress are directly linked to the arts science topics. We demonstrate the surprisingly motivating effect of art projects on design and choice of topics by students, especially working part-time students.
