Underwater imaging is the process of capturing and rendering visual representations of objects within underwater environments through specialized technologies. This enables the quality of underwater cameras and improved observation and understanding of the underwater world.
Underwater imaging technology is a vital area of research within marine and underwater optics, serving as an essential tool for human exploration, utilization, and conservation of the oceans. Its applications are widespread, including marine resource exploration, underwater archaeology, biological research, underwater engineering installation and maintenance, environmental monitoring, rescue operations, and salvage.
