High Resolution Stereo Imaging System for Sediment Roughness Characterization

Abstract

The long-term goal is to develop and apply a high-resolution digital stereo photography system to characterize multiple scales of seafloor roughness. The scientific objective is to characterize the temporal and spatial variability of seafloor roughness at spatial scales ranging from sub-millimeter (sand grain size) to tens of centimeters (small sand ripple size).
