CRAB - Oil Slicks Optical...

Reference : CRAB
CRAB is an easy-to-operate, active oil slicks optical detector. The instrument detects the presence of oil using optical sensing with a vertical laser beam and measuring the differences in the reflection properties of water and oil products.
The optimized optical scheme, signal processing routine, and modulation of the light beam intensity provide a drastic decrease of the influence of the wind waves and background illumination on the measurement results.
