Development of Underwater Lighting System for Mapping Seabed Objects

This work is the result of research in the field of seabed lighting. The project analyzed various existing methods and methods of verification of the bottom of the waters, analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of each of the presented methods. Based on the information received, an action algorithm was designed to fulfill the research goals and objectives. The purpose of the work is to develop an underwater lighting complex, which allows creating conditions for obtaining high-quality photo and video materials from underwater inspection work by changing the lighting modes of underwater objects. In the course of the study, the advantages and disadvantages of the existing methods for verifying the bottom of water areas were identified. In this work, it was possible to develop algorithms for receiving and transmitting data at a distance of up to 500 m in adverse environmental conditions and to create an underwater lighting system with the possibility of embedding it in an underwater hardware and software system. The results obtained will be useful for use in the environment of environmental studies of the seabed and the field of mining.
