Seafloor Reconnaissance Surveys and Change Monitoring Using a Small AUV and a Small ROV. The Role of Bottom Variability in Mine Burial Detection

Abstract

Objectives during the past year were to (1) edit a special issue of the IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering devoted to the MBP program, (2) adapt custom sidescan sonar software used by the Hawaii Mapping Research Group (HMRG) for use with REMUS data, (3) carry on a time series of sidescan surveys off Kakaako (Oahu) around the Kilo Nalu Cabled Reef Observatory, and (4) use our sidescan system and ROV to look for unexploded ordnance in Hawaiian coastal waters.
