A.Q.U.A (Automatic Quantitive Underwater Analysis)

Abstract

Environmental agencies lack data concerning small bodies of water. Current technological solutions take stationary samples over time or only take measurements near the surface of the water. This causes the need for people to travel out and manually take measurements at desired depths which is time consuming and expensive. Our system enables the already built USV to collect accuarate data in small bodies of water for mapping and monitoring purposes.
