Joint Navigation Conference 2009. GPS/Inertial Micro-Camera for Oceanographic Properties and Shallow Water Hydrography. Session A1: Warfighter Requirements and Solutions

Abstract

CONCLUSION: Micro-Camera payload can provide high accuracy metadata from which we can extract feature coordinates * Bathymetry * Targeting * Mapping * WebGRIM software can display mosaiced imagery and WMS overlays from Oracle GeoRaster database * Geospatial database management provides powerful capability for managing UAS imagery and for search, retrieval and viewing of multisource data * Bathymetric inversion methods works reasonably well * TOP shore-based techniques, O(0.5 m) RMS errors in 1-6 m water depths for the 12 days examined * Validation under variety of conditions not fully completed * Small waves only as no ground truth under large waves
