Putting the scanning laser environmental airborne fluorosensor through its paces: initial test rsults

摘要

The Scanning Laser Environmental Airborne Fluorosensor (SLEAF) has been designed to detect and map oil and related petroleum products in complex marine and shoreline environments where other nonspecific sensors (e.g. infrared, visible spectral region cameras etc.) experimence difficulty. One role of the SLEAF would be to confirm or reject suspeected oil contamination sites that have been targeted by the nonspecific sensors. This confirmation will release response crews from the time-consuming task of physically inspecting each iste, and direct creews to sites that require remediation.
