Simulation of the detection of underwater objects from air

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Abstract

Simulation modelling of the detection through a water-air boundary of underwater objects by means of a CCD camera is performed. The situation using active illumination by pulses of laser radiation is considered. Calculation is performed for the special case of the minimum size of an object detected at a prescribed depth of submersion in relation to its reflection factor.
