Abstract

A tanker accident has a possibility for enormous pollution of coastal environment arising from substantial volume of oil spill. It is desirable to clean up oil spill on the ocean by the oil recovery vessel, or spray oil dispersant immediately after the accident. For these processes, the airborne lidar system is a powerful tool to collect oil spill information in real time.We have developed a helicopter-based fluorescence lidar system for oil spill detection, which also be used as a passive sensor for detection of oil spill in daytime. This system basically consists of a 355nm UV pulse laser. and a four wavelength simultaneous detect ICCD camera to visualize laser induced fluorescence light from oil spill.In this paper, the system specifications and its preliminary results are shown.
