Article Synopsis
  • Laser range-gated underwater imaging improves image contrast and detection range by minimizing backscattering noise, but its effectiveness is limited in low reflectivity and turbid water environments.
  • The paper suggests enhancing this technology by incorporating underwater polarized light imaging, which can distinguish between backscattered and reflected light based on polarization differences.
  • Experimental results show that the polarization-enhanced system can increase image quality by up to 47%, widening its potential applications in areas like deep-sea exploration and military uses.

The oligotrophic tropical western Pacific region is characterized by a high density of seamounts, with the Kyushu-Palau Ridge (KPR) being the longest seamount chain here. Effective spatial management plans for seamount ecosystems necessitate an understanding of distribution patterns and key environmental factors influencing benthic communities. However, knowledge regarding deep-sea biodiversity patterns over intricate topography remains limited.

To address the issue of harsh marine background noise impacting the monitoring signal of fiber-optic hydrophones, we propose a low-noise fiber Bragg grating (FBG) hydroacoustic monitoring system with a reference sensor based on genetic algorithm backpropagation (GA-BP). Through theoretical analysis, we deduce the noise suppression steps of the GA-BP algorithm based on the reference sensor and construct train and test sets based on the data from the reference sensor and monitoring sensor at different times, optimizing the GA-BP algorithm to find the best fitting results and thereby obtaining the low-noise monitoring signal. Experimental results from the anechoic tank show that the proposed method can suppress background noise interference on effective signals and that the suppression effect improves as the background noise increases.

The Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) cabled video-observatory at the Barkley Canyon Node (British Columbia, Canada) was recently the site of a Fish Acoustics and Attraction Experiment (FAAE), from May 21, 2022 to July 16, 2023, combining observations from High-Definition (HD) video, acoustic imaging sonar, and underwater sounds at a depth of 645 m, to examine the effects of light and bait on deep-sea fish and invertebrate behaviors. The unexpected presence of at least eight (six recurrent and two temporary) sub-adult male northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) was reported in 113 and 210 recordings out of 9737 HD and 2805 sonar videos at the site, respectively. Elephant seals were found at the site during seven distinct periods between June 22, 2022 and May 19, 2023.
