Abstract

In this paper, the gain and noise of underwater laser range-gated imaging systems based on intensified CCD (ICCD) are theoretically analyzed. Combined with experimental results, the quality of underwater images at different system parameters is objectively evaluated from the aspect of modulation degree and histogram of grayscale distribution. Comprehensive selection disciplines of micro-channel plate (MCP) gain in applications is generalized according to the coherence between theory and experiment, and a scheme of auto gain control (AGC) based on image analysis is proposed for underwater range-gated imaging systems.
