Abstract

A method, system, and computer program product to correct for optical distortion in media captured by a camera in a liquid environment. The method includes detecting immersion of an image capturing device in a liquid environment. The method further includes determining a most recent location of the image capturing device and accessing a geographical database to determine a specific liquid environment that is associated with the most recent location. The method further includes automatically retrieving a corrected camera refractive index corresponding to the specific liquid environment. The method further includes intercepting live image data of a current scene that is captured by at least one camera sensor of the image capturing device and applying the corrected camera refractive index to the live image data to correct for an optical distortion in the live image data. The method further includes providing the corrected live image data to an output device.
