Disassembly

Using the Camera

  1. Prior to use, ensure that the camera system has been properly assembled and that the laser mount is secure.
  2. Take the camera underwater and begin to flood the camera lens.
  3. Turn on laser. Bias the camera laser slightly to the right.
  4. When laser is in use, aim it towards the center of body mass of the fish. Ensure that the laser is not being pointed directly towards a person if multiple people are present.
  5. Take pictures to collect fish data. Refer to the appropriate camera's manual for how to use the camera for taking images or video.
  6. When data collection is complete, turn off the laser.

  2. Camera Calibration: Take 50-60 images of the calibration board at varying angles and distances.
  3. Laser Calibration: Take a picture of the laser dot from 0.5 to 6m with 0.1m increments. Use the front edge of chamfer on top of the camera housing as distance reference.
