cameras mounted on hydraulic arms, aided by a 20,000-watt lighting system (Finkel, 1998). Though this is an uncommon process by any measure, it demonstrates the complexity of underwater video
and lightening processes that are used in the imaging and mapping of underwater regions and plant and animal life. Some of the most difficult issues in underwater video recording
include maintaining color, images and controlling light wave consumption/scattering in sea water, all of which have to come into focus when shooting underwater video. The Woodshole Oceanographic Institute has utilized
video imaging equipment for underwater imaging that include high-resolution color video cameras and scaling lasers that allow for the quantitative measurement of objects that are recorded, as well as metal-halide,
deep sea lighting systems for wider areas of observation and improved video mapping (Fornari, Bowen and Foster, 1995). They also utilize 675 kilohertz scanning altimetric sonar for the bottom
areas mapping that has a vertical resolution of approximately 10 centimeters (Fornari, Bowen and Foster, 1995). At the same time, the metal-halide lighting and high-resolution video cameras provide
greater color balance and clarity, especially when compared to older cameras and lighting systems that have limited resolving power, low-light characteristics, color spectrum and light-transmission properties (Fornari, Bowen and Foster,
1995). The increasing use of video technologies and lighting systems for different underwater applications has led to the development of technologies that enhance this process, especially as it
relates to the impact of water depth, water clarity and overall turbidity, as well as the impacts of waves and sea water motion and currents. It has been recognized
that the most problematic element in the devising of underwater video technology for differentiated applications is that it is inherently limited by the variables that can impact color, images and
