Descripción
Sumario:This article presents the design and validation of an Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) equipped with an advanced computer vision system based on image processing algorithms. The main objective is to employ mechatronics principles and cutting-edge technologies to develop a UUV capable of capturing images and telemetry data, enhancing underwater exploration in challenging environments. The computer vision algorithm, based on OpenCV, enables real-time detection and recognition of submerged structures and objects. Validation is performed through static analyses and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and versatility of the UUV in various applications, including archaeological inspections, search and rescue operations, and the conservation of protected marine reserves.
