Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to develop the methods and the system to support observation activities of ecological system of the coral reef. In this research project, we developed a prototype of underwater stationary sensor node for long-term sensory data collection, a prototype of underwater movable sensor node for collecting the data in the blind spot of the stationary sensor node, a measurement posture estimation method based on image processing for view presentation and a browsing system for collected sensory data. Developed prototypes, methods and system were tested at the coastal area of Sesoko island, Okinawa, Japan and demonstrated by using such collected data.
