v3.0.0

Release notes

This release includes new features and improvements of several functions, as well as enhancements to documentation (README, docstrings, examples, and notations).

Important changes

• Change the definition of cvtStokesToDoCP as degree should not contain negative values.
  • Before: DoCP = s3 / s0
  • After: DoCP = |s3| / s0
• Change the definition of retarder (and also qwp, hwp) to match the definition of recent papers.
  • Phase delay delta is flipped.

New features

• Symbolic Stokes-Mueller computation.
• New visualization functions (DoP/DoLP/DoCP, ToP, CoP are supported).
• New image grid for Mueller matrix image.
• New image I/O to handle multiple polarization images efficiently.

Improvements

• Add optional axis support for cvtStokesTo* series functions.
• Stokes input support for calcStokes and calcMueller functions.
