The IMOS AUV Facility has an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle called Nimbus (IMOS platform code:NIMBUS), capable of undertaking high resolution geo-referenced survey work. This platform is a custom designed and developed mid-size robotic vehicle built at the Australian Centre for Field Robotics. This AUV has been designed for imaging over complex underwater bathymetry and for deployment off smaller vessels than AUV Sirius. The submersible is equipped with a suite of oceanographic sensors including high resolution stereo cameras (6MP each), depth sensor, Doppler Velocity Log (DVL), Compass, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), Ultra Short Baseline (USBL), forward and downward looking obstacle avoidance sonar and a conductivity/temperature sensor (Aanderraa). The vehicle is controlled by an on-board PC stack which is used to log sensor information and run the vehicle's control algorithms. The vehicle has demonstrated its capacity to collect high resolution, near bottom imagery on trajectories over rough terrain that has been used to generate 3D meshes and ortho-mosaics.
