Why Use Low-Light-Level Television for Underwater Imaging
The design considerations peculiar to underwater television systems are described and discussed. The LLLTV camera can provide a means of compensating for the losses in the underwater environment due to spectral filtering, attenuation and decreased scene contrast to provide a feasible system design. LLLTV will allow use of ambient light for biological, geological and environmental studies at increased observation ranges. It is concluded that highly sensitive TV cameras have definite application in underwater television systems.
