Extended model for environmental interaction in underwater ghost imaging

Abstract

Over the past several years, ghost imaging has made remarkable achievements in poor optical conditions, including underwater imaging works. This study describes the interactions between environmental interference and experimental results of ghost imaging applied to underwater scenarios deduced by mathematical processes and related researches findings. In this paper, the causes of notable optical influences: absorption, scattering, and turbulence are firstly presented in the form of statistical mathematics; Sequentially, at the level of complex amplitude in wave optics, the experimental principle: second-order correlation are calculated as a basic for subsequent discussion in physical illustration; further, mainly from existing researches, the text expounds the specific influence of environmental and experimental factors on the imaging quality with above-mentioned models.
