Algorithmic Design and Implementation of Unobtrusive Multistatic Serial LiDAR Image

Abstract

To fully understand interactions between marine hydrokinetic (MHK) equipment and marine animals, a fast and effective monitoring system is required to capture relevant information whenever underwater animals appear. A new automated underwater imaging system composed of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) imaging hardware and a scene understanding software module named Unobtrusive Multistatic Serial LiDAR Imager (UMSLI) to supervise the presence of animals near turbines. UMSLI integrates the front end LiDAR hardware and a series of software modules to achieve image preprocessing, detection, tracking, segmentation and classification in a hierarchical manner.
