Abstract: A remote sensing system comprises a time-of-flight sensor including an array of near-infrared laser diodes comprising Bragg reflectors and pulsed with durations approximately 0.5 to 2 nanoseconds whose light is directed to an object. The detection system comprises a photodiode array coupled to a processor, and the time-of-flight measurement is calculated from the temporal distribution of photons reflected from the object. The sensor is coupled to an optical system comprising an active illuminator with a plurality of light emitting diodes and a camera system configured to be synchronized to the illuminator. Furthermore, the sensor is coupled to a light sensing system comprising a multi-wavelength filter to separate incoming ambient light into a series of wavelength bands, and a detector array configured to capture some of the wavelength bands to generate a color output. The processor may be configured to control the active illuminator based on the received color output.

Abstract: An inspection device for use in a fluid container having at least an opening includes a housing sized to fit through the opening. The housing has at least two fluid flow channels extending therethrough, each having an inlet and an outlet, and a pump maintained in the housing within each fluid flow channel. The pumps are selectively controlled to maneuver the housing within the fluid container. The inspection device continues with a method of in-situ inspection of a container having at least one opening to receive a fluid, that includes up-loading a virtual model of the container into a computer, inserting the device into the container, generating a position signal by the device and receiving the position signal on a computer. A virtual image of the device in the virtual model of the container is generated to determine an actual position of the device within the container.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring underwater structures are provided. First and second sets of point cloud data that are obtained at different times are compared to determine whether the location of the underwater structure has changed. For detecting vibration, a series of range measurements taken along a line intersecting the underwater structure are compared to one another to determine an amplitude and frequency of any vibration present in the underwater structure. For detecting temperature, the ratio of different components of return signals obtained from a point in the water surrounding the underwater structure is measured to derive the temperature of the water. Leak detection can be performed by scanning areas around the underwater structure. Monitoring systems can include a primary receiver for range measurements, and first and second temperature channel receivers for temperature measurements.
