Method for simulating underwater polarization field of wave water surface transmitted light

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for simulating an underwater polarization field of wave water surface transmitted light. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, building a polarization model based on Rayleigh scattering sky light, and calculating the polarization of incident sky light; according to different refraction coefficients corresponding to a parallel component and a vertical component of an incident light E vector, obtaining a Mueller matrix of a refraction process of a calm water surface; secondly, building a probability distribution model of a wave water surface element gradient, unifying the reference coordinate systems of the incident light and transmitted light, considering the shield effect among wind waves, and obtaining a Mueller matrix of a refraction process of a wave water surface; and finally, combining the Stokes parameter representation method to obtain a polarization field distribution mode of underwater transmitted light. The method can successfully simulate polarization characteristic distribution of underwater transmitted light of different sun positions and takes the influence of wind speed and wind direction on underwater light field polarization characteristic distribution into consideration. Meanwhile, the method can reveal polarization distribution rules of underwater transmitted light in a Snell window.

(1) Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an underwater polarization field simulation method for transmitted light on a wavy water surface, belongs to the field of optical remote sensing, and is of great significance to the research of underwater target detection technology and the application of underwater polarization navigation. (2) Background technology [0002] As a complex natural scene, the wavy water surface changes constantly in space. The underwater transmitted light carries strong polarization information, and has regular distribution and variation characteristics in the Snell window. Studies have found that some aquatic animals can use the polarization properties of transmitted light for navigation and migration. Since the polarization characteristics of light are closely related to the direction of light propagation, the morphological characteristics of the wavy water surface have a great influence on the polarization state distribution of underwater ...
