Aerial Photography for Shallow Water Studies on the West Edge of the Bahama Banks

Résumé du livre

Experiments in ecological surveying and shallow water reconnaissance by aerial photography are reported. The Bimini-Cat Cay area is described in terms of its large-scale features, and the results of site surveys vs. aerial photographic interpretation are discussed. The generalized problem of depth penetration is presented, as are methods of photographic image enhancement for improved depth penetration and bottom detail discrimination. Photographic and thermal infrared imagery of Biscayne Bay is presented, though with limited discussion. (Author).
