Two Hydrus AUVs survey a 64-metre shipwreck off Rottnest Island
Advanced Navigation deployed two Hydrus micro-AUVs for three missions at the Rottnest ship graveyard, capturing georeferenced 4K imagery that Curtin University HIVE used to reconstruct the wreck in 3D.
Evidence notes
- Two Hydrus units completed three survey missions in under five hours.
- The vehicles captured simultaneous georeferenced 4K imagery and video over a 64-metre historic wreck.
- Curtin University HIVE created a high-resolution 3D reconstruction, and the resulting dataset was shared with the Western Australian Museum.
