Reviewer 2 Report
This paper proposes a metal target detection method based on split focus plane polarization imaging. The research design should be improved.
1. The authors should give further study of the parameter $\beta$ in subsection 2.2. How does $\beta$ affect the detection performance?
2. In Figure 9, which is the image of I and which is DOP?
3. The authors design the polarization imaging experiment of metal target in low visibility underwater in subsection 4.3 and obtained the image I and DOP. However, the comparisons are not complete. The authors should compare with more canonical methods.
