| Description: |
The paper presents results from a collaborative CRAFT action under the European Union´s BRITE/EURAM programme. The aim of the presented research programme was to improve the structural performance of the net systems used in fishfarm pens. In particular, it is hoped that the level of pen volume loss due to current can be reduced, as well as improving resistance to sea mammal predation. Both these goals will be of signifi-cant economic benefit to the entire European fishfarming industry. A key element of the project is the meas-urement system for determining the underwater 3D geometry of the pen nets. A underwater CCD camera system and the photogrammetric software package PICTRAN are used. The various topics and special problems of underwater photogrammetry such as hardware choice, camera calibration, and working proce-dures are described. The project is being executed in a series of sequential stages; evaluation of the func-tionality and suitability of the components, and acquisition of geometrical data for the actual computational modelling calibration and design improvement in the final stage. The statical analysis suite of the EASY light-weight structure design system is being used for the computational modelling. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Objectives and expected results |
