In the field of machine vision, the intense specular reflection from object surfaces can lead to highlight artifacts, which significantly hinder accurate target recognition and subsequent image processing. This study proposes a high reflection suppression imaging system based on the modulation of polarization state of light upon specular reflection. First, a right-handed circularly polarized is used to illuminate the target. After the object is reflected by the specular surface, the right-handed circularly polarized light to transform into left-handed circularly polarized light. Finally, a quarter-wave plate converts the specularly reflected light into linearly polarized light, which is then captured by a polarization camera for imaging. Based on the imaging system, the connection between the components in the Stokes vector of fully polarized light and partially polarized light is used to solve the specular reflection component and suppress it. The effectiveness of the method is verified through experiments using four different materials. Compared to the original images, the contrast between the highlight and non-highlight regions improved by an average of 14.7% for ceramics, 9.4% for plastics, 2.1% for glass, 149.0% for metal. This method can effectively suppress the high reflection phenomenon in highly reflective object surface imaging.
