Completed
Duration: 07.2011 to 12.2013
HYFLES – HYbride fan plummet and laser scanning process
- Combination of multibeam echo sounder and laser scanner on one ship incl. positioning system
- Combination and calibration of data (software development)
- Up to 5 cm accuracy at 20 m shooting distance
- Recording of water bathymetry and integration of further sensor data
The combination of multibeam echo sounder and laser scanning has proven to be effective, but is too costly and not profitable for mobile real-time monitoring. Alternative applications are possible here.
Current:
- Application currently not being pursued
