SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This patent claims a method for obtaining an 
accurate quantitative measure of the opacity of a fluid, comprising: 
Providing at least one image receiving device incorporating at least 
one light sensitive device; calibrating said image receiving devices, 
wherein said calibrating yields at least one response curve for each 
said image receiving devices, said response curve empirically based on 
a ratio of received radiances; employing at least one said image 
receiving device for taking images of said fluid, said images to 
include at least one background associated with said fluid; providing 
at least one algorithm based on a ratio of received radiances, said 
algorithm implemented in software on a computer readable medium; 
providing at least one processor for at least running said software; 
receiving and processing said image on at least one said processor; and 
analyzing said image using said algorithm and said software to obtain 
said measure of opacity, wherein said opacity may be measured under 
various ambient conditions, including measurement at night, and wherein 
said opacity may be measured under various ambient conditions without 
operator interpretation.
