Airborne Multisensor Remote Sensing Systems For Subsurface Feature Detection In Littoral Zones, Charles R. Bostater Oct 2012

Airborne Multisensor Remote Sensing Systems For Subsurface Feature Detection In Littoral Zones, Charles R. Bostater

Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

This paper describes low altitude mobile imaging of near coastal waters in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. A suite of mobile multispectral and hyperspectral sensors were flown between ∼1,000m to ∼3000m altitudes in order detect subsurface features in nearby wetlands and littoral zone areas following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. In this paper techniques used to develop, integrate and calibrate the airborne sensors are described. The sensors include a multispectral digital frame camera system, a traditional photogrammetric camera, and a small custom hyperspectral imaging system with custom software. Ancillary sensors include include multiple differential GPS and inertial motion unit (IMU) …


Acquisition Of Airborne Imagery In Support Of Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Recovery Assessments, Charles R. Bostater, Frank Edgar Müller-Karger Oct 2012

Acquisition Of Airborne Imagery In Support Of Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Recovery Assessments, Charles R. Bostater, Frank Edgar Müller-Karger

Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

Remote sensing imagery was collected from a low flying aircraft along the near coastal waters of the Florida Panhandle and northern Gulf of Mexico and into Barataria Bay, Louisiana, USA, during March 2011. Imagery was acquired from an aircraft that simultaneously collected traditional photogrammetric film imagery, digital video, digital still images, and digital hyperspectral imagery. The original purpose of the project was to collect airborne imagery to support assessment of weathered oil in littoral areas influenced by the Deepwater Horizon oil and gas spill that occurred during the spring and summer of 2010. This paper describes the data acquired and …
