- Abstract
We statistically analyze the images of the objects of the “light-line” and “half-plane” types which are observed through a randomly irregular air-water interface. The expressions for the correlation function of fluctuations of the image of an object given in the form of a luminous half-plane are found. The possibility of determining the spatial and temporal correlation functions of the slopes of a rough water surface from these relationships is shown.The problem of the probability of intersection of a small arbitrarily oriented line segment by the contour image of a luminous straight line is solved. Using the results of solving this problem, we show the possibility of determining the values of the curvature variances of a rough water surface.A practical method for obtaining an image of a rectilinear luminous object in the light rays reflected from the rough surface is proposed. It is theoretically shown that such an object can be synthesized by temporal accumulation of the image of a point source of light rapidly moving in the horizontal plane with respect to the water surface.
