A range of imaging platforms
are available to the Department, with stereo-video systems being the most
commonly utilised. Such systems are being used both qualitatively and quantitatively.
The imaging height can be varied for project flexibility, and the imagery
has a stable vertical geometry.
The CELPIE (Coastal Exploration by Line towed Platform Image Evaluation) system, pictured to the left, was used in a study of the Irish sea-floor. This system has been superseded by the CELPIE Mk 2, which has the advantage of being modular and portable. CELPIE Mk 2 has recently been calibrated and is being used in studies of Port Phillip Bay habitat along with research into the stability of single and stereo video systems. The Department also has SWIMS (Shallow Water IMaging System), a sea kayak, pictured below. SWIMS is equiped with stereo video cameras and GPS that can be used for ground truthing and collecting stereo information about shallow water benthic habitat. Projects utilising this equipment are:
