Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of underwater image processing, in particular to a measuring device for underwater RGB attenuation. Background Art

[0002] In the field of underwater image processing, most tasks are accomplished by suppressing or enhancing the RGB channel values ​​of the image itself. This solution has certain effects, but cannot meet the needs of a considerable number of application scenarios. The present invention detects and calculates the laser RGB attenuation value and attenuation ratio, and applies the content of the marine optics field to enhance the image.

[0003] Water contains a variety of minerals, which causes the unevenness of water, making the energy attenuation of light in water more serious than in the atmosphere. At present, for a certain wavelength, its attenuation coefficient is considered to be a constant. For a wavelength of 532nm, its value is 0.04-0.05 / m. Studies have found that the attenuation of lasers in water is closely related to the minerals contained in the water. This is because the attenuation of light in impure water mainly comes from two different processes: absorption and scattering. Absorption is the process in which light energy is converted into other forms of energy when it encounters particles with absorption during transmission; scattering is the process in which light collides with other particles during transmission and diverges, causing the light energy in the transmission direction to continue to decrease. This causes the attenuation of light in water to change dramatically. At this time, the attenuation coefficient of lasers in impure water is no longer a constant, but varies with the different components in the water.

[0004] At present, underwater image enhancement is mainly performed by changing the RGB channel values ​​of the captured underwater image, but this method has great limitations. The effect is not ideal in turbid water, and physical suspended matter cannot be processed by changing the RGB channel values. There is no method that uses underwater RGB laser attenuation technology to assist underwater image enhancement.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model designs a measuring device for underwater RGB attenuation. Utility Model Content

[0028] The first sealed cabin plug 1 is fixedly connected to the first sealing flange 31, and the first sealing flange 31 is connected to the first three-color laser sealed cabin body 51 through the fixing bolts 2. The two ends of the protective cover 9 are respectively connected to the first three-color laser sealed cabin body 51 and the second three-color laser sealed cabin body 52. ​​The first three-color laser sealed cabin body 51 is provided with a mounting port, and the RGB three-color laser 6 is clamped in the first three-color laser sealed cabin body 51. The first transparent window 8 is installed on the mounting port, and the mounting port and the first transparent window 8 are provided with a first O-ring 7. The second sealed cabin plug 16 is fixedly connected to the second sealing flange 32, and the second sealing flange 32 is installed on the second three-color laser sealed cabin body 52. ​​The second three-color laser sealed cabin body 52 is fixedly connected to the illumination device bracket 13, and the illumination device bracket 13 is detachably connected to the illumination measuring device 12. The second transparent window 10 is installed on the second three-color laser sealed cabin body 52, and a second O-ring 11 is provided between the second transparent window 10 and the second three-color laser sealed cabin body 52.

[0031] The first O-ring 7 , the second O-ring 11 , the third O-ring 4 , and the fourth O-ring 14 can all solve the sealing problem of the RGB three-color laser 6 and the illumination measuring device 12 .

[0032] The protective cover 9 is provided with a circular hole.

[0033] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, the first three-color laser sealed chamber 51 includes a first connection chamber 511 and a second connection chamber 512, the first connection chamber 511 and the second connection chamber 512 are clamped, and a special-shaped hole 513 is formed at the end of the first connection chamber 511, and the shape of the special-shaped hole 513 is consistent with the shape of the RGB three-color laser 6.
