Observation of underwater objects through glitter parts of the sea surface

Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

We consider the possibility of decreasing the negative influence of roughness on the visibility of underwater objects. The technique is based on determination of undistorted parts of an underwater-object image by using information about glitters on the sea surface. The effect of the angular resolution of the imaging system on the underwater-object image quality is studied.
