Smart Sensor for Extended Range Optical Imaging
Abstract
The long term goal of this program is to develop a next generation of underwater optical imaging systems that utilize new sensors and advanced signal processing in order to acquire more information about the ocean environment. The specific goal of this project is to demonstrate the utility of a fast read out 1 dimensional CCD camera in concert with a scanning laser system. Theoretically, the system should permit the observation of microscale bathymetry (1 mm - 10 cm) at ranges of 2 m to 10 m with concurrent observation of bottom albedo at extended imaging ranges (3-7 total attenuation lengths). The system is called L-Bath for laser bathymetry.
