Abstract

It is known that the fact that symmetry of studied object permit reduction of the number of independent parameters of Mueller matrix of the object was firstly noted by F. Perrin. This work was carried out in scope of so-called direct problem of polarimetry. In the present paper the analysis of number of Mueller matrix independent parameters for nondepolarizing and input-independent classes of objects in scope of inverse problem of polarimetry is carried out.
