Fourier techniques have recently become popular for the
description of underwater image transmission. Two properties
necessary for the application of Fourier techniques to any system
are those of linearity and invariance. This work describes a
laboratory investigation of these properties for a variety of
aqueous media. The hypothesis is found...
