Autonomously mapping shallow water environments under and above the water surface

Abstract

The paper describes an autonomous water vehicle (ASV) capable of autonomously mapping shallow water environments above and below the water surface. Over the past two years, Fraunhofer IOSB has developed a system that is fully electrified and equipped with extensive sensor technology (multibeam sonar, lidar, cameras, IMU, GNSS). For autonomous navigation, the complete processing pipeline was implemented, from obstacle detection and avoidance to trajectory planning and control to multi-sensor localization and mapping. Above water, both lidar-based mapping and photogrammetric methods are used; underwater, bathymetry data is obtained using sonar. The interface to the operator is realized by an interactive digital map table, which allows intuitive mission specification and evaluation.

The Early Warning Model of Sudden Water Pollution Based on the Latent Factor

“…(1) Principle of rapidity WP emergencies affect a large area and it is hoped that the WP EWM will be able to make response decisions as quickly as possible, so the first principle of EWM design is efficiency, which can also be called speed. Want the system to be fast need to meet two requirements: first, the system simulation speed, need to complete the accident simulation within a few minutes, such as parameter input, simulation calculation and graphics display total time; second, in order to support the rapid query information after the accident, decision makers should be able to quickly retrieve decision support information, including laws and regulations, pollution confidential information, etc., and make decisions based on this information and simulation prediction graphics [15][16].…”

Fusion Chaos Neural Network Algorithm to Control Water Pollution Prevention in Mine Reconstruction Projects

“…The artificial wetland process is used to degrade WP in the mine area, and the surface runoff collected from the mine area first enters the storage pond along the original river channel, and the volume of the storage pond is designed in accordance with the standard of three days inlet and three days discharge. At the inlet of the pond, a diversion wall is set up at the entrance to avoid the impact on the embankment when the water volume is large and to enable the sediment suspended in the water to be better deposited when passing through the pond [16]. After the preliminary sedimentation of the transfer pond, the volume and quality of the larger solids and suspended matter have been removed in large quantities of water in the transfer pond side of the role of the water distribution wall, the surface runoff to be treated evenly into the four-stage tandem artificial wetland treatment, and finally discharged into the downstream river through the outlet pond, each level of wetland between the secondary water distribution facilities, can significantly improve the hydraulic retention time and avoid the emergence of dead space, the maximum function the maximum function of the artificial wetland purification role.…”

Water Environmental Pollution Risk Assessment and Water Pollution Dispersion Simulation by Integrating GIS and Random Forest Algorithm

“…Water Pollution Prevention and Control Project information and simple operation, but GIS has limited ability to express regular spatial data [10]. At present, the dynamic visualization methods of GIS mainly include the following three: Frame-by-frame animation method: generating time-series images with the same spatial interval and spatio-temporal reference data, continuously transforming the images at a given frequency, and using the principle of human visual retention to generate a visual image of continuous motion.…”
