Abstract
Ghost imaging with a fully spatially incoherent source in transparent liquid is investigated theoretically and numerically. The effects of water depth, refractive index of media and object position on noise property of ghost imaging in transparent liquid are studied by using classical optical theory. Based on simulation results, we find that for different media, ghost imaging with high quality can be obtained by selecting appropriate water depth and object position which may be helpful for underwater ghost imaging.
