Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

The Indian Ocean Bathymetric Compilation (IOBC) project, undertaken by Nippon Foundation / GEBCO Scholars, is focused on building a regional bathymetric data compilation, of all publically-available bathymetric data within the Indian Ocean region from 30°N to 60° S and 10° to 147° E. One of the objectives of this project is the creation of a network of Nippon Foundation / GEBCO Scholars working together, derived from the thirty Scholars from fourteen nations bordering on the Indian Ocean who have graduated from this Postgraduate Certificate in Ocean Bathymetry (PCOB) training program training program at the University of New Hampshire. The IOBC …

U.S. Extended Continental Shelf Cruise To Map Gaps In Kela And Karin Ridges, Johnston Atoll, Equatorial Pacific Ocean, James V. Gardner, Andy Armstrong Sep 2014

U.S. Extended Continental Shelf Cruise To Map Gaps In Kela And Karin Ridges, Johnston Atoll, Equatorial Pacific Ocean, James V. Gardner, Andy Armstrong

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

The objectives for cruise KM14-17 are to map the bathymetry of two gaps in two submarine ridges in the vicinity of Johnston Atoll. One ridge gap occurs along the informally named Keli Ridge (Hein et al., 2005) south of Johnston Atoll and the other ridge gap occurs north of Johnston Atoll that separates Sculpin Ridge (also informally called Karin Ridge) and Horizon Ridge, all in the central equatorial Pacific (Fig. 1). The cruise took advantage of a scheduled dead-head transit from Papeete, Tahiti to Honolulu, Hawai’i that could be extended for 5 days to include the planned mapping. The mapping …

Satellite-Derived Bathymetry Using Multiple Images: The Alaska North Slope Case Study, Shachak Pe'eri, Shep M. Smith Lt, Leland P. Snyder, Brian Madore May 2014

Satellite-Derived Bathymetry Using Multiple Images: The Alaska North Slope Case Study, Shachak Pe'eri, Shep M. Smith Lt, Leland P. Snyder, Brian Madore

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

Currently, charting data in much of the U.S. Arctic North Slope is inadequate or nonexistent and most of its areas have not been updated since the early-1950s. Although the charting infrastructure is out of date, ship transportation (such as, fishing and transit between the towns) has increased. NOAA conducted a preliminary multibeam survey in 2013 that reached Point Barrow, AK. However, all the Arctic North Slope remained untouched. Previous studies have shown that satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB) is a useful reconnaissance tool in tropical and sub-tropical waters in clear water conditions, especially over sandy seafloor. However, it is very difficult to …


Pose Detection And Control Of Multiple Unmanned Underwater Vehicles Using Optical Feedback, Firat Eren, Shachak Pe'eri, Yuri Rzhanov, May-Win Thein, Barbaros Celikkol Apr 2014

Pose Detection And Control Of Multiple Unmanned Underwater Vehicles Using Optical Feedback, Firat Eren, Shachak Pe'eri, Yuri Rzhanov, May-Win Thein, Barbaros Celikkol

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

This paper proposes pose detection and control algorithms in order to control the relative pose between two Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) using optical feedback. The leader UUV is configured to have a light source at its crest which acts as a guiding beacon for the follower UUV which has a detector array at its bow. Pose detection algorithms are developed based on a classifier, such as the Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM), and chosen image parameters. An archive look-up table is constructed for varying combinations of 5-degree-of-freedom (DOF) motion (i.e., translation along all three coordinate axes as well as pitch and …
