Abstract

This paper considers a laser method of controlling oil contamination on the sea surface based on probing the sea surface with two optical beams - vertically downward and at an angle along the line of travel. It is shown that the use of the two-beam sensing method allows to detect oil contamination on the sea surface with high reliability and to distinguish it from areas with smooth irregularities of the sea surface and areas with high reflection coefficient.
