AI Technical Summary
Traditional underwater optical systems lack the ability to measure water optical parameters in real time, in situ, and from the same source in environments such as turbid water, complex nearshore water, and long-term deep-sea platforms, resulting in a lack of reliable physical parameter support for image restoration and optical sensing.
A measurement device consisting of at least two non-collinear and non-coplanar imaging units determined by their relative poses is used. By dividing the imaging units into reference and non-reference imaging units based on the different imaging distances from multiple imaging units to the same point in the underwater region, the imaging distance difference and brightness residual of corresponding points are calculated, an objective optimization function is established, and the optical parameters of the water body, including the water absorption coefficient, scattering coefficient, and backscattering coefficient, are iteratively solved.
It enables in-situ, synchronous, and interpretable measurement of water optical parameters, and obtains high-precision and robust water optical parameter inversion results, which can truly reflect the water optical state during the image formation process.
