Integrating Sensors into a Marine Drone for Bathymetric 3D Surveys in Shallow Waters

Integrating Sensors into a Marine Drone for Bathymetric 3D Surveys in Shallow Waters

This paper demonstrates that accurate data concerning bathymetry as well as environmental conditions in shallow waters can be acquired using sensors that are integrated into the same marine vehicle. An open prototype of an unmanned surface vessel (USV) named MicroVeGA is described. The focus is on t...
