This study investigates polarization aberrations in fisheye lens imaging. It analyzes the impact of polarizers on the lens's performance and confirms the presence of polarization aberrations in the all field of view imagery through experimental validation. Additionally, MTF analysis is used to quantify the effects of polarization aberrations on image quality, revealing significant impacts on MTF.
