A comprehensive treatment of visual ecology Visual ecology is the study of how animals use
visual systems to meet their ecological needs, how these systems have evolved, and how …

Fully updated, with significant new coverage of advances in satellite oceanography and
results from new satellite missions, the second edition of this popular textbook introduces …

Vision-based underwater navigation and obstacle avoidance demands robust computer
vision algorithms, particularly for operation in turbid water with reduced visibility. This paper …

We present a novel three-band algorithm (PC 3) to retrieve phycocyanin (PC) pigment
concentration in cyanobacteria laden inland waters. The water sample and remote sensing …

Serious difficulties are present in the application of remote sensing techniques for optically
complex waters, as retrieval of water quality parameters is generally based on detailed local …

An operational satellite-based approach was implemented to monitor turbidity and organic
absorption in the Mekong river system. Using physics-based algorithms linked together in a …

Diffuse attenuation of solar light (K d, m− 1) determines the percentage of light penetrating
the water column and available for benthic organisms. Therefore, K d can be used as an …

Google Earth (GE) provides very high resolution (VHR) natural-colored (red-green-blue,
RGB) images based on commercial spaceborne sensors over worldwide coastal areas. GE …

The ability of matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) technique to transfer and
deposit high-quality thin organic, bioorganic, and composite films with minimum chemical …

The detection and identification of underwater threats in coastal areas are of interest to the
Navy. When identifying a potential target, both two-dimensional (amplitude versus position) …
