Abstract

This paper describes the research results on the detection of thin oil film formed on the surface of water from a remote distance. Peculiarities of fluorescence, of the oil film (thickness of ~ 90 µm), when fluorescence is excited by 447nm laser light, were investigated using digital methods of registration. Image processing of the fluorescence signals was accomplished remotely..
