1 LIDAR Bathymetry in very shallow waters Shachak Pe eri CCOM, UNH William Philpot Cornell University

2 Nd:YAG laser generates pulses in the infrared (164 nm) and green (532 nm) simultaneously IR radiation is reflected at the water surface Green light travels through the water and is reflected by the water and the bottom Green light generates Raman scattering from water and fluorescence from bottom vegetation or phytoplankton Bathymetric Lidar laser detectors

3 Water Raman Scattering Virtual state Energy Rayleigh & Mie scattering Raman scattering Inelastic: emission at a longer wavelength than excitation Fixed frequency shift For excitation at 532 nm emission centered at 647 nm

4 Fluorescence Inelastic: emission at a longer wavelength than excitation For excitation at 532 nm emission over a broad wavelength range, including the red channel

5 Lidar return signal (lidar waveform) Received 532nm signal Total return amplitude Surface (interface) return Detection points Bottom return Raman backscatter Volume backscatter Δt time

8 Introduction

9 Introduction: Raman Channel Waveform There are three main components building the Raman channel waveform: "Surface" return (found in all depths). Vegetation (found in shallow waters (Philpot and Wang, 2) Water depth (found in shallow waters). Note: There is no return from the air-water interface. All of the "surface" Raman return is from the water volume. The vegetation contribution "rides" on the surface waveform. The water column contribution decreases in power in the bins after the peak.

13 Shallow-water water Red Waveform: depth m 5 Peak Head Rise Head, Rise and Peak are the same as the basic waveform slope of the Tail increases as depth decreases. Falloff begins earlier as the depth decreases Tail

14 The basic waveform varies with location (water type) but is invariant locally

44 Kings Beach, Lake Tahoe Total number of points available: 368 Number of points with depth value: 17 (46% of the total points)

45 Calculating the depths Objective: calculating the shallow water depths using the Raman channel waveforms. Method: Decision rules and classification. Results: preliminary (demonstrating capability)!

46 Problem At King's Beach, of the 368 available LIDAR observations, a water depth was only assigned to 17 (46%) of the observations. Approach 1. Land/water discrimination 2. Separate between water and shallow water 3. Differentiate between shallow and extremely shallow water 4. Assign depths within each range

47 Land/water discrimination Decision rules (water) - Low IR signal - High Raman signal

48 Land/water discrimination Decision rules (land) - High IR signal - Low Raman signal

49 Land/water discrimination Decision rules (water?) - High IR signal - High Raman signal

50 Land/water discrimination Decision rules (vegetation) - High IR signal - Complex Green channel signal - Low Raman signal

59 Results Total number of available points in the dataset: 368. Number of points with depth value using the Raman waveforms: 36 (97% of the total points). Number of points with depth value using the APD waveforms : 17 (46% of the total points). A water depth comparison between the two waveform datasets (145 points) shows an average difference of.2 m with a std of.14 m.

60 Algorithm Mapping the depth via classification: Raman waveforms Land Water Deep Waters Shallow Waters Shallow Water (depth > 1m) Water Depth Extremely Shallow Water Water Depth

61 Summary The objective of this study is to increase the reliability of shallow water LIDAR surveying using the Raman channel waveforms. There is a direct relationship between the Raman channel waveforms and depths in shallow waters (lowering of the tail). In water depths shallower than 1 m the waveform s peak and fall are pushed towards the head of the waveforms. These results are preliminary, but show the capability of mapping shallow waters to resolution in depth of about a decimeter.
