Recent Argus Developments In North America Rob Holman SECNAV/CNO Chair in Oceanography Oregon State University • Tessellation Arrays and NCEX • Sensor Quality and Resolution • Objective Focusing • Recent Stereo Results • Argus III • Cross-geom Hurricane Isabel, Duck, 09/18/03
Note that these techniques are in development and aren’t yet available for release.
Argus and the NCEX Field Experiment NCEX = Nearshore Canyon Experiment,
C1 C2 C3 NCEX Argus Coverage
shoreline NCEX Tessellation Array Resolution limited (5 m) tile 1842 pixels
Directional Spectrum Example f < 0.33 Hz, k-2 normalized.
Tessellation Arrays • Produce wave directional spectrum at any location • Query at an array of locations • Extract simple statistics (peak direction?) • Use same lag array for depth estimation

Vertically-displaced Stereo C1, z = 43.1 m C1, z = 28.2 m

Lens Quality Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) • Ratio of the spectrum of a sensed signal to the source • Measures the quality of the CCD chip as well as the lens • Test image is random noise image (looks gray) Ideal Real 1.0 1.0 Spectra density Spectra density wavenumber wavenumber
Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) not Scaled to show number of “effective pixels” at roll-off Effect of “sharp” setting
Objective Lens Focusing? Can we use the spectral fall-off in an image to tell when the focus of a lens is optimum?
Objective Lens Focusing + + + + Focus was slowly adjusted through a sequence of images
Argus III Upgrade (North America) Argus II Argus III
Argus Collection Strategies Argus III Argus II
Crossgeom GCP’s in view No GCP’s Autogeom Crossgeom
Crossgeom Use overlapping, high-contrast area of snapshots as temporary template (requires Argus III for synchronous snaps)
Longshore Current? v, longshore current x, cross-shore y, alongshore
Field Test • Mean currents
Field Test • Surface dynamics • Alongshore wind stress • Alongshore roller stress z y
