The knowledge of water temperature profiles of the upper-ocean mixed layer provides valuable input to climate studies, weather forecasts and oceanography in general. A remote-sensing lidar is an attractive method for real-time measurements of these data. The principle idea of our approach is a lidar using the time-of-flight information to measure the depth and relying on spontaneous Brillouin scattering...
High false alarm rates on active sonar systems in shallow waters is a well known problem which may be a limiting factor for the sonar performance. One way to reduce the false alarm rate is through supervised learning and machine learning algorithms applying relevant classification features. Here we propose backscatter intensity as a classification feature. It is calculated from a topographical map...
In this paper, we propose a statistical channel model to study the performance of a line-of-sight underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) link in a data mulling environment. We optimize the range of geometric parameters including detector aperture diameter and field-of-view (FOV) to reduce the effect of excessive scattering on the optical signal. By considering geometric losses, we observe...
In this paper, a time reversal technique is proposed to enhance detection performance. When the time reversal technique is applied to the response of the clutter with strong time varying characteristic of shallow water, it is hard to obtain a high peak response. However, in the case that a cylindrical object is placed on the seafloor, However, in the case that a cylindrical object is placed on the...
Underwater images suffer from extremely unfavourable conditions. Light is heavily attenuated and scattered. Attenuation creates change in hue, scattering causes so called veiling light. General state of the art methods for enhancing image quality are either unreliable or cannot be easily used in underwater operations. On the other hand there is a well known method for haze removal in air, called Dark...
Enhancement of underwater images and videos is an important task required in several image-based applications like survey, seafloor mapping, telepresence, documentation etc. Color correction or white balance of underwater images is the most challenging issue because of the highly-variable illumination conditions, increasing bluish shift with the depth. Another problem is the low image contrast with...
