I specialize in problems of imaging and vision underwater.

I am now in the Lembeh strait in Indonesia to test a new algorithm that I

developed called Sea-thru, which takes an underwater image and removes the water

from it, and it looks just like it would as if you took the photo on land.

它可以拍摄水下图像并去除其中的水，看起来就像你在陆地上拍的照片。

（注：讲述了在水里拍摄的照片，由于水的存在，水会吸收光和造成失真，有一种方法叫Sea-thru, 在水里拍照以后，可以通过计算机用Sea-thru方法去掉在水里拍摄的照片中的水分...）

困惑：

在and it looks just like it would as if you took the photo on land.中， 

1) would如何理解？would后是否省略了什么？ 

2) 这句话（指and it looks just like it would as if you took the photo on land）如何理解句意？
