Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of underwater photography, and in particular to a multi-source heterogeneous vision enhancement camera device for diving photography equipment. Background Art

[0002] The underwater photography market is expanding, with significant potential for future growth. High-definition underwater photography not only meets consumer demand for capturing a variety of static and dynamic underwater scenes, but also provides precise and effective assistance to technical personnel involved in underwater engineering exploration, underwater emergency rescue, and underwater cultural relic recovery. Faced with increasingly complex and diverse underwater environments, both technical personnel and consumers are increasingly demanding higher clarity and resolution from underwater photography. To address varying usage and operating environments, including reduced visibility, undercurrents, and the presence of high levels of organic and inorganic particles, different clarity requirements can typically be met by replacing underwater camera lenses or adding additional fill lights. Existing equipment typically relies solely on the addition of fill lights to meet the required clarity requirements for underwater photography. However, since intelligent underwater fill lights are additional components, they are prone to unstable fixtures, falling off, and shaking. In complex waters, the light's direction can easily shift, preventing the desired angle and direction from being accurately illuminated, potentially causing damage to the equipment.

[0003] The clarity requirements of underwater photography in different situations can be met by replacing camera lenses with different resolutions or focal lengths. However, high-resolution and high-precision professional underwater photography lenses are expensive, which is not an economical and practical solution for ordinary consumers. For other related operators, the cost of equipment for underwater operations, rescue, and fishing is too high, and it is not an effective solution that can be promoted and used on a large scale. Therefore, we propose a multi-source heterogeneous vision enhancement camera device for diving photography equipment. Summary of the Invention
