A Hybrid Modular Optical Model To Predict 2-D and 3-D Environments in Ports and Beneath Ship Hulls for AUV Sensor-Performance Optimization in MCM Activities
Abstract
The long-term goal of this research effort is to develop a method to predict rapidly the visible radiance distribution in complex three-dimensional marine environments as found in ports and anchorages. Effective deployment of AUV- or ROV-mounted sensors to inspect ship hulls and port facilities will depend on accurate, real-time prediction of the sub-surface optical environment at the time and place of inspection.
