The unique and distinctive characteristics of LUCIE allow it to surpass currently available underwater cameras and make it a tool of choice for activities involving search and rescue, investigation and underwater surveillance. The camera can identify targets at up to five times greater distances than conventional cameras. LUCIE possesses the ability to eliminate backscattering-this elimination is unavailable on conventional cameras and enables the camera's imaging system to focus on light reflected from objects a specific distance away while filtering out light reflected from particles in suspension.

[...] la caméra LUCIE [...] permet de voir cinq fois mieux qu'une caméra classique. Comment ces performances ont-elles été obtenues ? «Tout simplement» en supprimant la quasi-intégralité de la lumière réfléchie sous l'eau pour ne capter que celle provenant de l'objet observé.

CONT

A principal sensor on board the satellite is the Space-Based Visible(SBV) sensor, a visible-band electro-optical camera designed... to perform the first technical and functional demonstration of space-based space surveillance. The principal task of the SBV sensor is to gather metric and photometric information on a variety of resident space objects(RSO).... Currently, the resident space object(RSO) catalog contains more than 8000 entries, consisting of active and inactive satellites, rocket bodies, and debris, with an active subset of over 800 objects.

CONT

We have created a catalog containing observations of over 1000 resident space objects (RSOs) by the infrared (IR) telescope on the Midcourse Space Experiment. These objects, a mix of satellites, rocket bodies, boosters, and debris, were serendipitously detected while the telescope was performing its primary mission.

OBS

There has been a surge in the number of surveillance cameras in Washington D.C. in the last year. In most cases, cameras are hidden from view or disguised so as to be undetected by those passing by the camera’s gaze. Some cameras can swivel to locate you, zoom in, and intrude unsuspectingly on your personal space.

The ground-based electro-optical deep space surveillance system(GEODSS) is an optical system that uses a low-light-level TV camera, computers, and large telescopes. GEODSS tracks objects in deep space, or from about 3, 000 NM out to beyond geosynchronous altitudes. GEODSS requires nighttime and clear weather tracking because of the inherent limitations of an optical system.
