DEVELOPMENT AUTONOMOUS SURFACE VESSEL HYDROGRAPHY SYSTEM FOR HYDROGRAPHY SURVEY AND STRUCTURE INSPECTION

Abstract

Hydrography is the scientific method which evaluates and defines the physical characteristics of water sources and areas of land relatively close to those water bodies. For studying, it implies getting the information or information about the hydrographic information by utilizing the reverberation sounder idea. This final year project is about to development Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV) Hydrography System for Hydrography survey and Structure Inspection. Structure inspection for this project is about to make the visual inspection such as bridge and under deck structure. Design of this project’s system will fulfill the characteristics of the hydrography survey, and this system will be installed into the prototype boat. This project using the hardware system consists of Arduino Uno as the microcontroller that act as a processor for this system. Information of data that been gathered will be handled utilizing this Arduino and transmitted the information to LCD to be show.
