Coral reef-like water area biomass evolution evaluation system

Abstract

The invention provides a coral reef-like water area biomass evolution evaluation system which specifically comprises a small underwater robot hardware system, a small underwater robot software system,a coral reef health state evaluation system and a USBL underwater positioning system. The small underwater robot software system is carried on the hardware system and sends a control instruction to realize underwater motion and image acquisition of the underwater robot; the coral reef health assessment system assesses the health state of the coral reef by using a color, LBP and Gabor hybrid coralreef assessment method based on the coral reef image acquired by the hardware system; and the USBL underwater positioning system is used for realizing relative positioning between the ship body and the small underwater robot. The system has the beneficial effects that a whole set of automatic system for conveniently and quickly recording the coral reef health condition at frequent time intervalsis provided, and the feasibility of creating urgently needed short-term and long-term change time series data for monitoring the coral reef health condition is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of robotic systems, in particular to a biological quality evolution assessment system for coral reef waters. Background technique [0002] Coral reefs maintain underwater biodiversity. Coral reefs are the richest in biodiversity and provide ideal habitats for a variety of underwater organisms. It can protect the coastline. Coral reefs can protect fragile coastlines from wave erosion. Healthy coral reefs are like natural breakwaters. About 70% to 90% of the impact force of waves will be absorbed or weakened when they encounter coral reefs, while coral reefs themselves There will be self-repairing forces, and dead corals will be broken down by the waves into fine sand, which enriches the beach and replaces the sand grains that have been washed away by the tide. It can maintain fishery resources. Many commercially valuable fish are provided by coral reefs as food sources and breeding places. It can reduce the greenhous...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] While human divers are commonly used to observe coral reefs and measure their health, scuba gear must be used to make the necessary measurements when there are situations that would be dangerous to divers

Additionally, manual monitoring of the health of entire reefs can be time-consuming and difficult
