I found this very interesting:

Oooooooooooh! My favorite "eyesight" example!

It's interesting, indeed. Thank you for posting.

What's a the practical use of the information on polarization channels? The image F from the third illustration does not look very much different from an RGB shot. Is there some light vectors info added? How could it serve to photo needs?

Watch Nature video of cuttlefish cycling colors during mating "ritual". Circular polarizer effects come to mind... The real mystery is how that brain puts all the sensory data together. Maybe akin to having 5 separate senses.

That's a nice comparison. I am still wondering of the applications on the sensor side. The scientists talk about applications "from astronomy to biomedicine". For example to discover new sky objects in invisible spectrum or to make diagnostics looking at body tissues in polarised vision? Would it also help to "our" RGB photography?
