EOID System Model Validation, Metrics, and Synthetic Clutter Generation

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to accurately predict the capability of the current generation of laser-based underwater imaging sensors to perform Electro-Optic Identification (EOID) against relevant targets in a variety of realistic environmental conditions. The models will predict the impact of environmental variables (e.g. optical properties) as well as engineering variables (e.g. gains and aperture settings) on performance. The two most prominent technologies in this area are Laser Line Scan (LLS) and Streak Tube Imaging Lidar (STIL). Examples of systems using these technologies are the AN/AQS-14 (using LLS) and AN/AQS-20/X (using STIL) mine-hunting systems.
