Environment modelling of Great Barrier Reef habitats using Autonomous Transect Surveying

该项目的目标是开发能够利用能够测量大堡礁的自主机器人系统收集的数据对非结构化珊瑚礁环境进行建模的算法和方法。 澳大利亚野外机器人中心目前有一个小型无人水下研究航行器，能够进行这种调查工作。 根据拟议的项目，这款潜水器将配备适当的传感器（如视觉系统、声纳、深度和温度传感器）。 拟议的拨款将用于支持阿帕（I），其目的是构建车辆将在其上运行的珊瑚礁状态的综合模型。

This project has as its goal the development of algorithms and methods capable of modeling unstructured, reef environments using data collected by an autonomous robotic system capable of surveying the Great Barrier Reef. The Australian Centre for Field Robotics (ACFR) currently has a small research Umanned Underwater Vehicle capable of undertaking such survey work. Under the proposed project, this vehicle will be equipped with appropriate sensors (such as vision systems, sonar, depth and temperature sensors). The proposed grant will support an APA (I) whose aim will be the construction of comprehensive models of the state of the reef over which the vehicle will operate.
