Lidar Methods for Measurement of Modulation Transfer Function of Water Layers
Abstract
We develop algorithms for retrieval of the water layer modulation transfer function (MTF) from the radiance of backscattered laser pulse. A lidar diagram is developed for remote measuring of the MTF. The water optical properties are then retrieved from measured MTF. We also propose a laser imaging system for sea bottom observation which corrects image distortion caused by light scattering in the water.
