The Mueller matrix associated with a given interaction depends on many aspects of the measurement configuration. In particular, different Mueller matrices can be measured for a fixed material sample depending on the spectral profile of the light probe. For a given light probe and a given sample with inhomogeneous spatial behavior, the polarimetric descriptors of the point-to-point Mueller matrices can be mapped, leading to respective polarimetric images. The procedure can be repeated sequentially using light probes with different central frequencies. In addition, the point-to-point Mueller matrices, consecutively measured, can be combined synthetically through convex sums leading to respective new Mueller matrices, in general with increased polarimetric randomness, thus exhibiting specific values for the associated polarimetric descriptors, including the indices of polarimetric purity, and generating new polarimetric images which are different from those obtained from the original Mueller matrices. In this work, the fundamentals for such synthetic generation of additional polarimetric images are described, providing a new tool that enhances the exploitation of Mueller polarimetry. 000131867 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000131867 590__ $$a2.1$$b2023 000131867 592__ $$a0.457$$b2023 000131867 591__ $$aOPTICS$$b59 / 119 = 0.496$$c2023$$dQ2$$eT2 000131867 593__ $$aAtomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics$$c2023$$dQ2 000131867 593__ $$aRadiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging$$c2023$$dQ2 000131867 593__ $$aInstrumentation$$c2023$$dQ2 000131867 594__ $$a2.6$$b2023 000131867 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000131867 700__ $$aSan José, Ignacio 000131867 7102_ $$12002$$2385$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
