Drones equipped with visual-spectrum imaging, LiDAR, and/or other sensors will overfly and survey coastal areas of the Northumberland Strait and adjacent waters, for which the ice cover is representative of the conditions known to exist in the upper reaches of the Gulf shipping lanes and through the St. Lawrence Seaway. Data collected during the project will be used to develop data communication, analysis, and fusion techniques relevant to MASS navigation challenges in ice conditions. Datasets will also be made available to other researchers at partner organizations studying similar problems in a MASS ice-navigation and maneuvering context., description french : Fusion de données de capteurs aériens et maritimes pour faciliter la navigation des navires de surface autonomes dans la glace, expected results english : In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems., expected results french : À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides., additional information english : This agreement has been amended 1 time(s).
