Abstract

This paper describes the results of a pair of experiments to compare the performance of a collection of infrared sensors for imaging obstacles and mines in the surf zone regions. Results include a statistical and subjective analysis of the imagery. Emphasis is placed on sensor performance during thermal crossover, day/night transitions, and nighttime operations. Also the sensitivity required for imaging obstacles in water is measured.
