CAPteurs sonar et vidéo pour la Recherche et l’Identification de Cibles par ASV (CAPRICA)

Short Description

The exploitation of underwater resources and maritime security are of geostrategic importance, involving civilian, military, and scientific stakeholders. The use of autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles, such as ROVs, AUVs, and ASVs, is growing for underwater inspection and security. The CAPRICA project aims to improve the identification of underwater targets using an AUV or ASV, despite challenges in precise navigation and low visibility. It proposes advanced sensors and signal processing to detect and characterize areas of interest. Defense and scientific applications, such as studying barracuda schools in collaboration with Septentrion Environment, are being explored.
