We present a complete Mueller matrix (MM) imaging polarimeter based on liquid-crystal retarders and a pixelated polarization camera. The polarimeter instrument is first calibrated and optimized, and then applied for the precise characterization of optical components used for the generation of structured light, like patterned retarders and patterned polarizers.
