Abstract

The theoretical properties of electromagnetic transmission and radiation of light are combined with the propagation law of light in a uniform medium and the Fresnel formula to provide an improved two-beam interference model for simulating oil spills. This model enables the study of spectral reflectance under different thicknesses and different illumination angles. Through observation and analysis of simulation results, it is found that light waves reflected at the interface of water and oil films and of oil films and air oscillate due to interference. In order to overcome this problem, solar irradiance is simulated and multiplied with the reflection model to obtain the outgoing illuminance values at different wavelengths, which are convoluted with the slit function of the hyperspectral camera. The processed results are compared with incoming illuminance values to obtain new simulation results. In addition, based on portable hyperspectral imagery and imported xenon lamp light sources and other experimental equipment, indoor simulated oil spill experiments were conducted. By comparing and analyzing the results of these simulations, the accuracy of the improved model was further improved, demonstrating the feasibility and utility of the model in studying oil spills at water surfaces.
