Underwater Imaging System Techniques

W. F. Parrish

The present performance capability of underwater low-light-level television (LLLTV) cameras used in biological and geological survey applications is discussed. Video-processing techniques are shown to be useful to improve contrast loss due to backscatter, to provide vertical aperture correction and to reduce systematic shading patterns. Performance of present underwater television systems can be improved by using such techniques.
