To help prevent backscatter try not to use lights near (next to) the camera in use.
Often P&T’s have a camera and a light mounted on the same P&T unit. Turn the P&T light off and use frame lights mounted further away from the camera. Also, as the last poster said.. "dim the lights"as much as possible too.
It may reduce some of the intensity or "brightness" of the back scatter, but no it will not eliminate it. One thing tha might help (after dimming the lights a little) is to set the white balance on your camera (presuming you have that opiton). Though this won’t remove all of the backscattering, it reduces the glare greatly caused by it, making it much easier to pick out objects and see them.
Thanks Chief.
Have you actually tried it ?
I see you have access to an eyeball, I think it maybe worth trying a circular polariser to see if there is any improvement .
I do understand that the dimming and position of lights are important however I have never been asked if a polariser will help and quite frankly I do not know the answer or if it has ever been tried.
First, that article is 6 years old and LYYN hit the subsea industry a bit over 4 years ago. Second, LYYN did not invent video enhancement. There are actually quite a few different video enhancement options out there if you take the time to look.
Don’t get me wrong. The LYYN system works very well in certain conditions and is nicely packaged but stating "complete rip off" is incorrect.
