Abstract

See full text

An omnidirectional surface vehicle (OSV) for use in a water-borne environment is described. The OSV can comprise a platform of interconnected buoyant compartments having incorporated position thrusters to navigate the OSV. The thrusters are connected to a series of ducts and ports to enable navigation of the OSV by fluid intake/ejection. An onboard camera system can be configured to capture imagery of a subsurface structure such as a net in an aquaculture facility. AI and ML technologies can be applied to enable detection of a potential anomaly/hole in the net structure. Location of the anomaly can be determined based on any of a current position/location of the OSV, a current field of view of the camera, a position/focal length of a lens in the camera, etc. Control/operation of the OSV can be performed autonomously by an onboard computer/controller. The OSV can be further configured to communicate with a remote device.
