ASV mapping Apalachicola Bay (FL, USA)

05/06/2007

Woods Hole Science Center incorporated an Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV) into seafloor mapping operations in June 2006. The ASV is designed to operate in shallow-water (1-5m) and will be used to map surficial sediment distribution and thickness, and seafloor morphology (depth). The WHSC has ‘named' the vehicle IRIS (Independently (or) Remotely Influenced Surveyor). The scenes of this movie are submitted by Thomas F. O'Brien. Details about the ASV and the mapping survey.

Do you have a nice movie, related to hydrography, techniques or projects? Send it it us and we may publish it!

The Canadian Hydrographic Service had a remote controlled vehicle that they used to gather bathymetry in Halifax Harbour in 1974. I believe they called it the Neptune Projet. At that time the vehicle was powered by a large diesel engine. Thought you may be interested. Barry M. Lusk - 13/06/2007 - 23:21

Demo of RIEGL Airborne Bathy Scanner in Camcopter UAV

It's not an AUV but an UAV. So an unmanned vehicle, but in the air instead of underwater. This movie shows a demonstration of the bathymetric laser scanning capabilities of the RIEGL VQ-820-GU hydrographic airborne sensor in reality. For more information on the technical side, please see the news release on Hydro International.
