Skylight polarization provides a significant navigation cue for certain polarization-sensitive animals. We designed a polarization navigation sensor based on the polarization sensitivity mechanism of insects. In this paper, the principle of our polarization navigation sensor is introduced. The relationship between the degree of polarization (DOP) and the error of the angle of polarization (AOP) is examined. A new DOP and AOP calculation algorithm using a linear least-squares algorithm is presented. The results of simulation and experiments reveal the essentiality of DOP calculation and demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed algorithm. (C) 2014 Optical Society of America
