The anyar river depth mapping from surveying boat (SHUMOO) using ArcGIS and surfer

Abstract

This paper discusses about a boat technology system unmanned surface vessel (USV) for mapping shallow water area. SHUMOO (Small Hydrography Marine Boundary Boat) is a small boat which is integrated with GPS and Echosounder system for sounding the shallow depth water. The data is obtained from GPS satellite and then it will be transmitted in real time by wi-fi to the ground application. The navigation maneuver of SHUMOO is controlled by remote control from the ground. The sounding results are shown in contour mapping and 3D visualization using ArcGIS and Surfer applications. The results show the bathymetry depth of Anyar river is in range 0.6–1.16 meters.
