Abstract:

This report describes some applications of coherent optics to geological imagery. Three problems are discussed 1 the determination of the two-dimensional power spectrum of water waves, 2 the detection of linear geological features in aerial photographs, and 3 water motion detection and measurement. Experimental results as well as analytical discussions are included. Author
