Electro-optic identification "EOID" sensors have been demonstrated as an important tool in the identification of bottom sea mines and are transitioning to the fleet. These sensors produce two and three-dimensional images that will be used by operators to make the all-important decision regarding use of neutralization systems against sonar contacts classified as mine-like. The quality of EOID images produced can vary dramatically depending on system design, operating parameters, and ocean ...
Electro-optic identification (EOID) sensors provide photographic quality images that can be used to identify mine-like contacts provided by long-range sensors, such as sonar systems. To help support the transition of these sensors to the Fleet as well as to aid in the development of future EOID sensors, the Office of Naval Research (322-OP) has funded a five-year research program to investigate the performance properties of existing EOID sensors as a ...
