Journal ArticleDOI
Secchi disk depth: A new theory and mechanistic model for underwater visibility
Zhongping Lee,Shaoling Shang,Chuanmin Hu,Keping Du,Alan Weidemann,Weilin Hou,Junfang Lin,Gong Lin +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the Secchi disk depth (Z SD) may not exactly represent the sighting of a Secchi disc by a human eye. And they develop a new theoretical model to interpret Z SD, which relies only on the diffuse attenuation coefficient at a wavelength corresponding to the maximum transparency.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-resolution and fast-response fiber-optic temperature sensor using silicon Fabry-Pérot cavity.
Guigen Liu,Ming Han,Weilin Hou +2 more
TL;DR: A fiber-optic sensor based on a silicon Fabry-Pérot cavity, fabricated by attaching a silicon pillar on the tip of a single-mode fiber, for high-resolution and high-speed temperature measurement, suggesting a maximum frequency of ~2 kHz can be reached to address the needs for highly dynamic environmental variations such as those found in the ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simple underwater imaging model
TL;DR: A model is presented to include the effects of both particle and turbulence on underwater optical imaging through optical transfer functions to help quantify the limiting factors under different circumstances.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Automated underwater image restoration and retrieval of related optical properties
TL;DR: Under this framework, the traditional image restoration approach is extended by incorporating underwater optical properties into the system response function, specifically the point spread function in spatial domain and modulation transfer function (MTF) in frequency domain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical turbulence on underwater image degradation in natural environments
TL;DR: This study presents the first attempts in quantifying the level of image degradation due to optical turbulence in natural waters in terms of modulation transfer functions using measured turbulence dissipation rates.
