Applications of smart technologies in oceanography and bathymetry

Abstract

Oceanography and bathymetry are two interrelated fields that play an essential role in the maritime industry. Smart technologies are increasingly used in oceanography and bathymetry to collect and analyze data, improve predictive models, and increase the efficiency of operations. Autonomous underwater robots and vehicles are being used to collect data from the deep sea and to carry out underwater missions in areas inaccessible to humans. Data collected by such robots and autonomous underwater vehicles are processed using artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide accurate information about the underwater environment. This article presents the achievements of the RomanianNorwegian team in the MARINTECH project, Romanian - Norwegian Strategic Cooperation in Maritime Higher Education for the enhancement of human capital and knowledge base in the field of marine intelligent technologies.
