Underwater electromagnetic remote sensing

چکیده
Utilization of non-destructive and non-invasive methods for the real-time underwater remote sensing is one of the challenging and desired tasks in the maritime security and safety as well as the harbour surveillance. Our aim was to develop and verify advanced electromagnetic sensors for a seabed objects detection and inspection. The seabed is a complex environment often covered with the sand, dense aquatic vegetation and rocks. Hence, it is difficult to investigate the seabed by only one conventional method. Usually a combination of the sonar and video system is used for the detection and classification of underwater targets. In this paper, we verified the operation and efficiency of two EM imaging sensors, a ground penetrating radar (GPR) and an electromagnetic continuous wave sensor (CWEMS).

Tsunamis are caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a sea. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions, landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below water have the potential to generate a tsunami. The coastal areas of Kollam district, the present study area was seriously affected by the catastr...

Remote sensing data and information are shown great potential in supplying relevant spatial data and parameters at the appropriate scale for use in distributed hydrological models for water resource applications. In contrast with many conventional data normally represented by point measurements, remote sensing based measurements are spatially averages over the pixels can appropriate for distrib...
متن کاملPolarization Patterns of Transmitted Celestial Light under Wavy Water Surfaces
This paper presents a model to describe the polarization patterns of celestial light, which includes sunlight and skylight, when refracted by wavy water surfaces. The polarization patterns and intensity distribution of refracted light through the wave water surface were calculated. The model was validated by underwater experimental measurements. The experimental and theoretical values agree wel...
