Abstract

When light is transmitted in an underwater environment, the scattering phenomenon caused by water molecules and suspended particles in the water will reduce the resolution of underwater imaging. Therefore, studying the scattering law of light traveling underwater can predict the degradation degree of underwater imaging resolution, thereby providing prior knowledge for underwater image processing. In order to study the effect of forward scattering on the resolution of underwater imaging, this paper use a modulation transfer function (MTF) model of the changing law of underwater imaging resolution, and then used Monte Carlo for simulation verification. The theoretical value and the simulation value are in good agreement, so this paper provides an effective solution for studying the influence of underwater forward scattering on the resolution of underwater imaging.
