Simulation of Passive Imaging of Underwater Objects

Abstract

A computer model simulating performance of passive optical sensors for imaging underwater objects from above-water paltforms is described. The model is based on the models of sun and sky spectral radiance, wavy sea surface, light propagation in seawater and is able to render images of underwater objects as seen through the air-water interface.
