Water surface areas are calculated in the first place, and subsequently expressed as fractions of total areas of water-covered terrain at a given site of the river recorded on five dates.

Abstract:

Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) equipped with integrated sensors are a tool valuable to several monitoring strategies, offering enhanced temporal and spatial coverage over specific timeframes, allowing for targeted examination of sites or events of interest. The elaboration of environmental monitoring programs has relied so far on periodic spot sampling at specific locations, followed by laboratory analysis, aiming at the evaluation of water quality at a catchment scale. For this purpose, automatic telemetric stations for specific parameters have been installed by the Institute of Marine Biol

Abstract:

Abstract An unmanned surface vehicle (USV) is an unmanned vehicle that is operated on the surface of the water for certain purposes, for example, bathymetry measurement, underwater imaging, etc. These unmanned surface vehicles can be used in impassable waters for crewed vessels in dangerous waters. This research measures the movement of the vehicle acceleration and then calculates it as the USV roll and pitch values. The direction of movement and wind speed and the height of the water surface at low tide are also aspects measured in this research. An accelerometer is a sensor that can measure

The advance in human-robot interaction brings out novel applications of the disaster rescue operations. Especially, the concept of search and rescue (SAR) assisted robot operations plays an extensive role in the natural hazards, such as earthquake and wild fires. Particularly, the SAR operations in the water-based drowning due to floods and boat capsize disaster are expensive and not fast. This paper presents a survey on various SAR based remotely operated vehicle’s (ROV) related to airborne, under and surface of the water, such as unmanned marine vehicles (UMV) and unmanned aerial vehicles (U

Abstract:

Water segmentation is essential for the autonomous driving system of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), which provides reliable navigation for making safety decisions. However, existing methods have only used monocular images as input, which often suffer from the changes in illumination and weather. Compared with monocular images, LiDAR point clouds can be collected independently of ambient light and provide sufficient 3D information but lack the color and texture that images own. Thus, in this paper, we propose a novel camera-LiDAR cross-modality fusion water segmentation method, which combine

Abstract:

In recent years, hybrid unmanned aerial underwater vehicles (HAUVs), which are capable of air–water trans-media motion, have been increasingly developed. For most HAUVs, air–water trans–media motion is a relatively dangerous and difficult process. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the particular process. This paper presents the first study on the kinematic stability of the air–water trans–media motion of HAUVs. First, a simplified dynamic model of HAUVs is proposed, including the hydrodynamic forces and the time–varying buoyancy. Then, based on the proposed model and the Hurwitz
