Technology of visualization for AUV optical vision system

The presented visual simulation system for AUV optical vision is a real-time hardware-in-loop simulation system that is used for the demonstration of the hardware, software of AUV vision system. The concept of AUV vision system was introduced compendiously. The study model and architecture of whole system were proposed consummately. Besides, color dynamic image was transformed monochrome through intensity texture in Vega Prime. And it implements accurate simulation of black-and-white kinescope. In addition, a simulating the illumination effect produced by headlights on AUV was established through the complicated attenuation operational formula. The simulator also provides simulation of vidicon simply. The results of application show that this system is good real-time characteristics and the effect is realistic. This research is of important in test of the hardware and software of AUV vision system.
