Abstract
A method for distortion-tolerant recognition of objects in water using three-dimensional (3D) integral imaging with a neural network classification architecture is presented. Recognition algorithms are developed and experimental results are presented with rotation-variable 3D objects. To test the robustness of the system, objects are placed under a variety of water conditions, including variable Maalox-induced scattering levels and occlusion using pine needles. Neural networks have long been used for two-dimensional recognition and have recently been used for 3D digital holographic recognition. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first use of neural networks for passive 3D integral imaging and recognition of underwater objects.
