Title: Innovations of Junichi Akizono
Introduction
Junichi Akizono is a notable inventor based in Yokosuka, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of underwater imaging technology. With a total of 2 patents, his work showcases innovative approaches to visualizing objects beneath the water's surface.
Latest Patents
Akizono's latest patents include the submerged laser television and the submerged laser visual recognizer. The submerged laser television is an underwater device that radiates laser pulses from a laser oscillator to visualize objects underwater. It detects the reflection light of these laser pulses to display images of the visualized objects. This invention features a main body designed for free movement underwater, capable of withstanding water pressure, and includes a light transmission portion for transmitting both laser pulses and reflection light. The system also incorporates radiation and light receiving means to produce video signals and display images based on these signals.
The submerged laser visual recognizer employs a simulation method for imaging underwater objects. This method uses a test panel with strips of varying brightness, which is irradiated with a pulsed laser beam of three primary colors. By analyzing the reflected beam pulses, contrast values are computed in relation to turbidity and visibility distance. This imaging system can be integrated with a laser generation device and a laser beam detection device, all placed underwater in a submersible vessel designed for unmanned operation.
