The long term goal of this program is to advance understanding of distributed laser line scan (DLLS) imaging and networking techniques and their applicability to Navy missions which utilize multiple UUVs in support of littoral operations. The planned three year outcome of the work is to provide a validated radiative transfer simulation suite which can allow underwater laser imaging and communications system developers or operators to predict imaging or communication ...
The long-term goal of this research is to advance the knowledge necessary to develop wide-swath laser-based underwater imaging systems that provide greater sensitivity over longer ranges than existing systems. In addition, since existing imaging systems are physically incompatible with small form-factor Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), this effort concentrated on methods specifically aimed at size reduction while improving or maintaining image performance. The primary application for these systems is in imaging ...
The long term goal of this program is to advance understanding of multistatic laser line scan (LLS) imaging and networking techniques and their applicability to Navy missions which utilize multiple UUVs in support of littoral operations. The planned three year outcome of the work is to provide a validated radiative transfer simulation suite which can allow underwater laser imaging and communications system developers or operators to predict imaging or communication ...
The overall objective of the Advanced Underwater Imaging (AUI) program is to advance the state-of-the- art in wide-swath underwater laser imaging with the long-term goal of transitioning this technology to the Navy's fleet of 21 diameter and smaller form factor autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Following the development and refinement of benchtop pulsed laser line scan (PLLS) imaging hardware and image simulation tools in FY07, the objectives of the work performed ...
The overall objective of the Advanced Underwater Imaging (AUI) program is to advance the state of the art in wide-swath underwater laser imaging with the long-term goal of transitioning this technology to the Navy's fleet of 21-inch diameter and smaller form factor autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The objectives of the work performed during this funding period were to: 1. Gain an understanding of the limitations of the simulation results obtained ...
