The optical effects that are observed in underwater imagery are more complex than those in-air. This is partially because we enclose most underwater cameras in a watertight enclosure, such as a hemispheric dome window. We then observe optical issues including the distortion effects of the lens, e.g., wide-angle field-of-view (FOV), the refractive effects at the enclosure (water-acrylic and acrylic...
