Time-of-Flight (ToF) Cameras for Underwater Situational Awareness

Recently developed commercial Time-of-Flight (ToF) cameras have been used to accurately and reliably measure scene depth with high resolution in applications such as automotive LiDAR. There is a desire to adapt this technology for applications in underwater environments. In this work, we establish a methodology for using modified commercial ToF cameras in turbid water. We express the need for hardware and software modifications to the camera and...
