  • Abstract
    This paper focuses on the technology for an imaging system that allows MBARI´s midwater ecologists to detect both illuminated, nearly transparent organisms and stimulated bioluminescence. The system utilizes high intensity red LEDs and an ICCD camera with the ability to gate the detected light. This system uses less power than traditional underwater video systems and provides a higher contrast image for use in future automated counting systems
