The 4DShoreMap project has ended
Ladies and Gentlemen,
We would like to inform you that the project entitled The „Innovative system for multidimensional and multitemporal monitoring of the coastal zone using an autonomous unmanned vessel” with the acronym 4DShoreMap has come to an end. The final product is a prototype of the 4DShoreMap system, an integrated system using autonomous surface vehicles designed for multidimensional and multitemporal monitoring of the coastal zone. In addition, as part of the project, a method of sensory fusion of data from underwater and surface sensors, a model of a multidimensional and multitemporal knowledge base about the coastal zone and a model for visualizing integrated spatial data in the form of a spherical map were developed.
All planned product and direct result indicators were achieved, i.e. 1 patent application was filed („System for creating omnidirectional and spatial spherical hydrographic maps using hydroacoustic and optoelectronic techniques”), a total of 8 scientific publications, a knowledge base and a spatial data model were developed.
Our company would also like to thank each person involved in the project. We wish each of you further success.
The system built as part of the project is designed to integrate data from four sensors and create a multidimensional and multi-temporal knowledge base about a given coastal zone. The sensors (LIDAR, multibeam echosounder, sonar and metric camera) are mounted on an autonomous surface vehicle HydroDron-1. The proposed solution enables visualization of the collected data in the form of a spherical spatial map. The 4DShoreMap system is designed in the Python programming language, and as part of the construction and verification of the system, a total of 14 measurement missions were carried out in 2022-2024, during which data was recorded from an interferometric echosounder, LiDAR system and metric camera.
