Abstract : ELECTRONIC FILE CHARACTERISTICS: 20 files; Adobe Acrobat (.PDF) and MS Word (.DOC). PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 1 CD-ROM; 4 3/4 in.; 107 MB. ABSTRACT: This report describes the continuation of the work started in Year One and Two of the CCST project. The objective of the work in Year Three was to focus on developing technology for 3D imaging. Optical applications are based on the High Resolution Video imaging systems developed by FAU's Imaging Technology Center, and, for underwater applications, a high resolution sonar systems has been developed which can be mounted on a tetherless remotely piloted underwater vehicle. In this report the details for year three of this program will be presented. The following projects are described * The Remotely Piloted, Unmanned, Untethered, Underwater Vehicle (RPUUV) * Acoustic Piloting, Communications and Positioning * Environmental Assessment and Modeling: Monitoring Currents and Ambient Noise in Ports and Data Synthesis * Development of a High Resolution Imaging Sonar for Underwater Inspections * Experimental determination of the hydrodynamic/dynamic characteristics of a small underwater vehicle for port security * Hydrodynamic and Dynamic Investigations for the Development of a Small Underwater Vehicle for Underwater Hull Inspection and Harbor Survey * Chemical Sensors * HDMAX High-Resolution QUAD HD Progressive Scan Electronic Camera System 3D Imaging and 3D Video Technologies for Coastline Security Applications.
