Towards Robotic Lake Maintenance: Integrating SONAR and Satellite Data to Assist Human Operators
- 先用卫星图像识别水草区域,再由无人船声呐精确定位
- 声呐地图可精确量化水草分布,提升打捞效率
- 适合需要高效维护人工湖的环保或水利部门
人工水体因人为生态过程需持续监测与维护。为维持生态平衡,需定期清除快速生长的水下植被。本文提出两阶段协同方法:首先利用卫星衍生的水生植物与藻类(APA)指数初步识别沉水植被区域;随后,搭载多波束声呐(SONAR)的无人水面艇(USV)进行高分辨率水深测绘,精准定位并量化水草分布。该人机协作模式使卫星数据引导无人船任务,船员基于详细声呐图实现靶向打捞,显著缩小搜索范围,降低人力负担。初步结果表明,融合卫星影像与水下声学感知可有效提升人工湖植被管理能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Artificial Water Bodies (AWBs) are human-made systems that require continuous monitoring due to their artificial biological processes. These systems demand regular maintenance to manage their ecosystems effectively. As a result of these artificial conditions, underwater vegetation can grow rapidly and must be harvested to preserve the ecological balance. This paper proposes a two-step approach to support targeted weed harvesting for the maintenance of artificial lakes. The first step is the initial detection of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV), also referred to in this paper as areas of interest, is performed using satellite-derived indices, specifically the Aquatic Plants and Algae (APA) index, which highlights submerged vegetation in water bodies. Subsequently, an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) equipped with multibeam SOund NAvigation and Ranging (SONAR) performs high-resolution bathymetric mapping to locate and quantify aquatic vegetation precisely. This two-stage approach offers an effective human-robot collaboration, where satellite data guides the USV missions and boat skippers leverage detailed SONAR maps for targeted harvesting. This setup narrows the search space and reduces manual workload from human operators, making the harvesting process less labour-intensive for operators. Preliminary results demonstrate the feasibility of integrating satellite imagery and underwater acoustic sensing to improve vegetation management in artificial lakes.
