Abstract

A common problem when imaging and measuring through moving water surfaces is the quasi-random refraction caused by waves. The article presents two strategies to overcome this problem by lowering the complexity down to a planer air/water interface problem. In general, the methods assume that the shape of the water surface changes randomly over time and that the water surface moves around an idle-state (calm planar water surface). Thus, moments at which the surface normal is orientated vertically should occur more frequently than others should. By analysing a sequence of images taken from a stable camera position these moments could be identified – this can be done in the image or object space. It will be shown, that a simple median filtering of grey values in each pixel position can provide a corrected image freed from wave and glint effects. This should have the geometry of an image taken through calm water surface. However, in case of multi camera setups, the problem can be analysed in object space. By tracking homological underwater features, sets of image rays hitting accidently horizontal orientated water surface areas can be identified. Both methods are described in depth and evaluated on real and simulated data.
