  • Publication number: 20210390339
    Abstract: The invention discloses a depth estimation and color correction method for monocular underwater images based on deep neural network, which belongs to the field of image processing and computer vision. The framework consists of two parts: style transfer subnetwork and task subnetwork. The style transfer subnetwork is constructed based on generative adversarial network, which is used to transfer the apparent information of underwater images to land images and obtain abundant and effective synthetic labeled data, while the task subnetwork combines the underwater depth estimation and color correction tasks with the stack network structure, carries out collaborative learning to improve their respective accuracies, and reduces the gap between the synthetic underwater image and the real underwater image through the domain adaptation strategy, so as to improve the network's ability to process the real underwater image.

  • Patent number: 10870471
    Abstract: A submarine optical positioning beacon system with self-generating capability, which has an array of underwater beacons. When the underwater rover moves to the vicinity of an certain underwater beacon, the underwater beacon's COMS sensor detects the underwater rover's light and then turns on the LED lamp group. The COMS sensor of the underwater rover analyzes the light species of the LED light group and converts it into digital information. The underwater rover analyzes the digital signal to obtain its location. Each underwater beacon has an independent power generation component, which generates power by utilizing ocean current, greatly increasing the working time of the beacon. The LED lamp group gives positional information feedback through the light, which can reduce the system power consumption and increase the system working duration.
