Deep sea optical viewing systems: methodologies for their analyses and synthesis

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Methodology is presented for the analysis and synthesis of three model deep sea submersible-mounted optical viewing systems. The radiation field of the illuminator is characterized by a phenomenological beam model. Several useful concepts are introduced: exposure field, exposure contrast field, irradiance field, signal-to-noise field, and blur. Certain key exposures and irradiances are calculated. Emphasis is placed on the specification of optimum angular field of view, optimum height off-bottom, and speed of the submersible as a function of the various optical system parameters.
