MÉTODOS DE INTERPOLAÇÃO DA BATIMETRIA ADQUIRIDA POR VEÍCULO DE SUPERFÍCIE NÃO TRIPULADO

Abstract

This study proposes interpolation methods for bathymetric data obtained by Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV). The study is organized into two chapters: the first chapter presents the mapping of scientific production related to unmanned surface vehicles (USV), through scientometric analysis, highlighting articles and review articles in this area of knowledge and demonstrating the number of publications to the date of year 2021. The second chapter presents the comparison of the efficiency of the interpolation methods Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN), Inverse Weighted Distance (IDW), Multilevel B-Spline (MBS), Thin Plate Spline (TPS) and Ordinary Kriging (OK), and the analysis of which method best represents the bathymetric surface of an artificial reservoir located in Campo Grande/MS. Through the study, it was possible to confirm that the research focused on the improvement of unmanned surface vehicles (USV), as well as the application of this equipment for environmental studies will continue to grow, since the results can always be improved, as well as the methodology can be applied in other aquatic environments.
