There are deep holes, some filled with a bit of water. I need to find out the depth to the bottom of the hole, not just to the top of the water. Cost isn't really an issue. Could maybe go up to $1000. How they do it with aircraft is short pulses, I'm looking for something like that.
Yes I have. The only thing close to this is shallow water bathymetry, but it is hard to scale down that practice. I've spent many hours on this before coming here.
Long story short I am trying to develop a way to measure the depth of water, potential with lasers.
The water will be up to 1m deep in a 10m hole. It maybe be full of dirt and other stuff that would make it cloudy. I'm wondering how well lasers penetrate dirty water and if its just a matter of...
