Full Description

1.1This guide provides information and criteria for the selection of camera remote sensing systems that are vessel-mounted for the detection of oil on water.

1.2This guide applies to the detection of oil-on-water involving cameras of IR, visible, ultra-violet, or night vision types.

1.3The context of camera use is addressed to the extent it has a bearing on their selection and utility for certain missions or objectives.

1.4This guide is generally applicable to all types of crude oils and most petroleum products, under a variety of marine or fresh water situations.

1.5Many camera technologies exhibit limitations with respect to discriminating between the target substances under certain states of weathering, lighting, wind and sea, or various camera settings.

1.6In general remote sensing systems are used to detect and delineate the overall slick. Vessel-mounted systems are used only to provide a tactical image in the vicinity of the recovery vessel.

1.7The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.8This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.9This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
