Helicopter-based lidar system for monitoring the upper ocean and terrain surface

Abstract: A compact helicopter-based lidar system is developed and tested under laboratory and field conditions. It is shown that the lidar can measure concentrations of chlorophyll a and dissolved organic matter at the surface of water bodies, detect fluorescence spectra of ground vegetation at a distance of up to 530 m, and determine the vertical profile of light-scattering particle concentration in the upper ocean. The possibilities of the lidar system are demonstrated by detection of polluted areas at the ocean surf… Show more

“…1 Multiple airborne bathymetric lidar systems have been developed for looking into seawater, primarily for profiling the seafloor surface and, sometimes, also for measuring the optical properties of the water column. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Lidars also have been developed for airborne or shipborne measurements of water clarity and attenuation, [9][10][11] spatial and temporal variations in oceanic scattering layers and plankton distributions, [12][13][14] internal waves, 15 chlorophyll content, [16][17][18] and fish. 19 Recently, a space-based lidar was used for producing global maps of phytoplankton biomass and total particulate organic carbon.…”

“…Fluorescence analysis is a widely used high-sensitivity method that is applied in many scientific and technical fields. A viable application of the technique is the analysis of plant state [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. External factors can cause plants stress and make their growth abnormal.…”

“…Conventionally, aural and visual information monitoring is performed using pre-installed infrastructure [17], for instance, via cameras mounted on lampposts, buildings' walls, etc., connected to the Internet access points using wired or wireless technology. Besides, in the areas where no fixed infrastructure is available and/or in case of spontaneous gatherings, helicopters are conventionally used for crowd monitoring [10]. And to have crossover the shorting coming of helicopter-based systems, recently, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), particularly, quadrocopters or drones have been proposed for flash-crowd monitoring [3].…”
