Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of optical technology, in particular to an underwater optical device for imaging near-sea level and air targets. Background technique
[0002] Underwater imaging of air close to the sea level or near the edge of the underwater Snell window (Snell cone) has always been a research hotspot. This is because for sea surface observation, its main target, whether it is underwater or on the water surface, is in the area close to the water surface. For example, a 40m-high cruise ship at sea level only occupies a 5° field of view at 460m away, so a few degrees of field of view near the sea surface are more important when detecting sea and air targets underwater.
[0003] Imaging near the horizontal angle in the air or near the edge of the underwater Snell window is more difficult than imaging in the vertical direction. The conventional method is to use a wide-angle lens or a fisheye lens to cover the horizontal area for imagin...
