A method for controlling an underwater vehicle moving along a travel trajectory is disclosed. The movement of the underwater vehicle is dependent on a vessel physically connected thereto. The method is performed by a processor and comprises the steps of: obtaining a topography of an underwater region where the underwater vehicle travels; obtaining a predicted trajectory of the underwater vehicle; deriving a relationship between the predicted trajectory of the underwater vehicle and a seafloor represented by the topography of the underwater region; and controlling the underwater vehicle based on the determined relationship; wherein the topography of the underwater region is linkable to a coordinate system of the travel trajectory of the underwater vehicle. Unlocking insights from Geo-Data, the present invention further relates to improvements in sustainability and environmental developments: together we create a safe and liveable world.
A method for controlling an underwater vehicle moving along a travel trajectory, movement of the underwater vehicle being dependent on a vessel physically connected thereto, the method performed by a processor and comprising the steps of:
The method according to 1, wherein the underwater vehicle is a remotely operated underwater vehicle, ROV, the control step is performed by sending a command to the ROV, via a tether connecting the ROV to the vessel.
The method according to 1, wherein the predicted trajectory of the underwater vehicle comprises a plurality of points, the determining step comprises the steps of:
A device for controlling an underwater vehicle moving along a travel trajectory, movement of the underwater vehicle being dependent on a vessel connected thereto, the device comprising a processor configured to:
A computer program product, comprising a computer readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed on at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
