Abstract

Visualising complex polarimetry optical axis fields is challenging. We introduce density-encoded line integral convolution (DELIC), a novel approach that builds on the classic line integral convolution algorithm by incorporating the principles of centroidal Voronoi tessellation, enabling clearer and more interpretable representations of complex optical axis fields.
