Looking into making a BRUV - Any Advice?
Constructing a Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) presents a compelling opportunity for oceanographic data collection. Achieving this requires careful consideration of design parameters. Prioritizing modularity for ease of transport and deployment is crucial, alongside ensuring depth capabilities exceeding 210 feet—relevant for projects like the one envisioned for Lake Erie. Modularity also allows for future camera and lighting system upgrades, aligning with deep-sea exploration goals.
Kalman filter for ocean waves using IMU
A novel Kalman filter implementation for real-time ocean wave and boat motion estimation has been developed and validated using an inertial measurement unit (IMU). Utilizing an OU-Driven Quaternion MEKF framework, this open-source project, ‘ocean-imu’ (available on GitHub), provides calibrated estimates of boat heave and wave direction leveraging the atomS3R unit. This innovative approach offers researchers and practitioners a valuable tool for marine navigation and oceanographic data acquisition.
