About
Jostein Thorstensen is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of optics, computer vision, and underwater robotics, with a primary focus on overcoming the challenges of 3D imaging in degraded visual environments. His key research areas include light transport in scattering media, underwater 3D reconstruction, and active imaging systems. Thorstensen’s major contribution is a comprehensive comparative study of light transport in turbid water, where he systematically analyzed literature, simulations, and experimental data to characterize how scattering and absorption affect 3D imaging performance. This work, published in 2024 and already garnering 6 citations, provides a critical foundation for developing robust underwater perception systems. By elucidating the physical principles governing image formation in murky water, his research directly addresses the practical needs of underwater robotics, enabling more reliable navigation, inspection, and manipulation tasks in challenging aquatic environments. Thorstensen’s findings are particularly notable for bridging the gap between theoretical models and real-world experimental validation, offering actionable insights for engineers designing next-generation underwater sensors.
