Mapping the Historical Shipwreck Figaro in the High Arctic Using Underwater Sensor-Carrying Robots
Mogstad, Aksel Alstad; Ødegård, Øyvind; Nornes, Stein Melvær; Ludvigsen, Martin; Johnsen, Geir; Sørensen, Asgeir Johan; Berge, Jørgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-19)In 2007, a possible wreck site was discovered in Trygghamna, Isfjorden, Svalbard by the Norwegian Hydrographic Service. Using (1) a REMUS 100 autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) equipped with a sidescan sonar (SSS) and (2) a Seabotix LBV 200 mini-remotely operated vehicle (ROV) with a high-definition (HD) camera, the wreck was in 2015 identified as the Figaro: a floating whalery that sank in 1908. ... -
Underwater Hyperspectral Imaging of Arctic Macroalgal Habitats during the Polar Night Using a Novel Mini-ROV-UHI Portable System
Summers, Natalie; Johnsen, Geir; Mogstad, Aksel Alstad; Løvås, Håvard; Fragoso, Glaucia Moreira; Berge, Jørgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-09)We describe an Underwater Hyperspectral Imager (UHI) deployed on an instrumentcarrying platform consisting of two interconnected mini-ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicle) for the mapping and monitoring of Arctic macroalgal habitats in Kongsfjorden (Svalbard) during the Polar Night. The mini-ROV-UHI system is easy to transport, assemble and deploy from shore, even under the dark, icy and cold conditions ...
