Abstract
A method of removing underwater gas bubbles from underwater devices such as cameras, optical lenses, or domes including acquiring a camera image or a sequence of images, applying a computer vision algorithm for detecting bubbles that stick to underwater cameras, optical lenses or domes and vibrating a motor for a time period sufficient to remove the majority of the bubbles, and optionally repeating vibrating the motor until complete removal or dismissal of bubbles is achieved. A method of moving a moving element with respect to an underwater surface associated with an underwater acquisition device, wherein a motion of the moving element enables at least part of the moving element to interact with at least one of the surface or the underwater gas bubbles, thereby dismissing or removing underwater gas bubbles from at least part of the surface. Corresponding systems are also disclosed.
