Evaluation of the alpha-Beta Instrument and the Distance Visibility Algorithm for Camera and Diver Visibility

Abstract

The Navy has a need to have instrumentation and algorithms that provide the warfighter with estimates of diver visibility and light attenuation for system performance. The long-term goal of this research effort is to provide the Navy with instrumentation and algorithms that have been scientifically and technically validated and are fundamentally sound. The algorithms are for diver and camera visibility as well as evaluating instrumentation that may be utilized and equipped aboard US Navy survey vessels.
