Titel
Boost Applied munition detection through Smart data inTegration and AI workflows
Kurzbeschreibung
Existing approaches for the detection of submerged warfare material are time consuming and costly. They suffer from limited objectivity and acknow­ledgement of uncertainties, which is partly due to the lack of an industry standard for data acquisition and handling. This resulted in high heterogeneity in process chains and data work­flows. BASTA aims at advancing the approach for munition detection both on local and a larger scale. The project seeks to advance data acqui­sition through ultra-high-resolution 3D sub-bottom profiling (SBP) and intelligent autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) based magnetic mapping as part of an adaptive and iterative survey approach. In addition, it will foster sustainable use of survey and historical data within a multi-sensor database. Conducting data analysis of big data by means of artificial intelligence will lead to new approaches in detection and identification of munition. New tools, methods and workflows will be discussed with stakeholders, with the aim of formalizing recom­mendations for munitions detection for industry and government players.
