“Low cost autonomous underwater camera for long term deployments
This projects aims to build low-cost in situ underwater cameras for shallow deployments, from relatively off-the-shelf materials.
The goal of the this project is to prove that “It can’t be that hard, surely?”
Project constitution:
- Must be made as cheap as functionality allows
- Must be made of materials and off-shelf parts as far as possible
- Must be easily replicated.
There will be three components to this projects:
- Mechanical hardware
- Electronic components
- Software
Possible applications:
- Biodiversity studies
- Visibility indicator for recreational diving
- Long term time lapses”
