Abstract
The first application of neural networks in the problem of ghost
polarimetry is reported. The proposed approach has enabled the
reconstruction of the spatial distribution of object anisotropy in ghost
polarimetry. The deep neural network processes a set of intensity
correlation functions measured in various polarization states of
classical light and reconstructs, point-by-point, the distribution of the
type of anisotropy. In this work we use a numerical dataset. We
investigated the applicability of the developed network for objects whose
properties are determined by linear/circular amplitude/phase anisotropy.
The probability of correctly predicting the type of anisotropy exceeds
95 % according to the F1-score metric.
