Introduction

Monitoring the vegetation of The Baltic Sea is an important step to see the environmental changes in the biodiversity. Traditional picture taking methods are time-consuming, costly and incosistent. Our task was to develope a system that could control the depth of a camera rig based on the geological location of the vessel that floats on the water.

Goal

Develope and integrate an embedded system using Raspberry Pi that compares the GNSS location of the vessel to a predetermined depth data and then controls the depth of a camera rig accordingly. The system needed a manual mode as well in the case that something goes wrong.

Results

We built a system that atleast based on our lab testing and partial real life testing does what it needs to do. We never managed to test our system and code on the real equipments because of time constraints.
