Project description
Advanced oil-in-water sensor helps protect coastal waters
Coastal undersea environments face serious threats from oil spills and chemical pollution. The EIC-funded OWL project will tackle these issues with the development of the oil-in-water locator, a cutting-edge solution using advanced sensors – hyperspectral laser-induced fluorescence LiDAR sensors. This locator should be able to detect, classify and quantify oil spills and hydrocarbons both on the water surface and at depths. The advanced technology enables real-time, accurate and comprehensive environmental surveillance. OWL could play a critical role in mitigating environmental damage to ensure the safety of our coastal regions.
Objective
Ocean Visuals' project centers on the development and deployment of the Oil-in-Water Locator (OWL), a cutting-edge solution designed to address the complex challenges of monitoring and safeguarding coastal undersea environments. By utilizing advanced Hyperspectral
Laser Induced Fluorescence (HLIF) LiDAR sensors, OWL can detect, classify, and quantify oil spills and chemical pollution -quantifying hydrocarbon presence- both on water surfaces and submerged within the depths. This innovation empowers real-time, accurate, and
comprehensive surveillance, revolutionizing our ability to protect and manage undersea ecosystems, mitigate environmental damage, and ensure the safety of coastal regions.
