The invention relates to an omni-directional surface vehicle (OSV) for a surface environment. The OSV may include a platform of interconnected buoyancy compartments with incorporated position thrusters to navigate the OSV. The thruster is connected to a series of conduits and ports to enable navigation of the OSV by fluid suction/discharge. The onboard camera system may be configured to take images of a subterranean structure, such as a net in an aquaculture facility. AI and ML techniques may be applied to enable detection of potential anomalies/holes in a network structure. The location of the anomaly may be determined based on any one of a current location of the OSV, a current field of view of the camera, a location/focal length of a lens in the camera, etc. Control/operation of the OSV may be autonomously performed by an on-board computer/controller. The OSV may also be configured to communicate with a remote device.

    本申请涉及用于水上环境的全向水面车辆(OSV)。OSV可包括:互连的浮力舱的平台,浮力舱具有并入的位置推进器以导航OSV。推进器连接到一系列管道和端口,以能够通过流体吸入/排出来导航OSV。船载相机系统可以配置成拍摄诸如水产养殖设施中的网的地下结构的图像。可以应用AI和ML技术以能够检测网结构中的潜在异常/孔。可以基于OSV的当前位置、相机的当前视场、相机中镜头的位置/焦距等中的任何一个来确定异常的位置。OSV的控制/操作可以由车载计算机/控制器自主地执行。OSV还可以配置成与远程设备通信。
