Containers Dropped from Sample Clauses

Containers Dropped from a Ship (Basic Scenario 3). This scenario intends to simulate the NOPTILUS system performance when deployed to prevent an ecological disaster due to the sinking of a ship carrying liquid chemicals (like the example described in section B.1.1.1). More precisely, and in order to simulate the sinking ship, containers will be dropped from a ship (outside the harbor at a location with maximum depth 60 meters and experiencing mild currents and waves); By the time the containers reach the seafloor they will start leaking chemicals. The containers will “land” on or close to a real shipwreck (in an attempt to simulate the process of a real ship sinking). Contrary to basic scenarios 1 and 2, the seafloor map will be assumed totally unknown to the NOPTILUS system. The NOPTILUS system will be called to concurrently (a) built a map of the seafloor, (b) detect, locate and track the container/shipwreck (while its sinking and when stabilized at the seafloor) (c) provide a clear map of the shipwreck and (d) detect, locate and track the spill after the containers have touched the seafloor and they start leaking. The overall NOPTILUS system will be demonstrated and evaluated during this scenario. Of particular importance during this scenario will be the demonstration of the ability of the NOPTILUS Situation Understanding module to be able to recognize and understand dynamic underwater phenomena. For this reason, artificially imposed incidents (e.g. one of the AUVs getting caught on a fishing net or losing contact with the central control) will also take place during this scenario and the NOPTILUS Situation Understanding module will be called to recognize these incidents. It has to be emphasized due to the complexity of the particular mission of base scenario 3, such a mission cannot be accomplished by human-operated ROVs or AUVs. As a result, a successful accomplishment of basic scenario 3 by the NOPTILUS system will be one of the most significant outcomes of the project. The NOPTILUS Basic Scenarios Porto University and the Portuguese Navy signed a Memo of Understanding (MOU) in 2007 to promote the cooperative development of unmanned vehicles. Under this MOU Porto University and the Portuguese Navy carried out several research and development projects and performance joint deployments. Under this cooperation, researchers from Porto University spent over 6 weeks at sea operating autonomous vehicles. This cooperation is due to continue at least for the duration of the project....
