At present, 3D reconstruction technology is being gradually applied to underwater scenes
and has become a hot research direction that is vital to human ocean exploration and …

This paper presents a survey on optical sensors and methods for 3D reconstruction in
underwater environments. The techniques to obtain range data have been listed and …

This paper analyzes the influence of underwater scattering on structured light-based 3-D
reconstruction techniques and improves the performance of the 3-D reconstruction under …

This paper presents underwater 3D capture using a commercial depth camera. Previous
underwater capture systems use ordinary cameras, and it is well-known that a calibration …

Coral reefs hosts nearly 25% of all marine species and provide food sources for half a billion
people worldwide while only a very small percentage have been surveyed. Advances in …

Conditions of the underwater environment have its challenges in the underwater vision
research process. Some things that make underwater imagery difficult is that light can be …

Underwater structure inspections are essential for infrastructure maintenance, such as
hydraulic facilities, bridges, and ports. Due to the influence of turbidity, dark light, and …

Abstract Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are increasingly used in different
domains including archaeology, oil and gas industry, coral reef monitoring, harbour's …

The absorption of the light by sea water and light scattering by small particles of underwater
environment has become an obstacle of underwater vision researches with camera. It gives …
