Develop and Test Iceberg Profiling Software to Produce 3D Models of Icebergs from Sonar Data Collected by Oceans Ltd.'s Collection Unit

FY 2022-23 · 2022-08-01

Summary
This project involves the development of iceberg profiling software at Oceans Ltd. designed to process the data collected by the firm's new digital iceberg sonar data collection unit to produce 3D models of profiled icebergs. It is intended to replace the old software that is incompatible with the data from the new system. The iceberg profiler software will produce 3D images of the topside and underside of an iceberg individually, as well as a 3D image of the iceberg as a whole. The measurement of icebergs is required for iceberg management operations at all of the oil platforms offshore NL.

Description (French)
Ce projet consiste à développer un logiciel de profilage d'icebergs chez Oceans Ltd. traiter les données recueillies par la nouvelle unité de collecte de données sonar numérique d'icebergs de l'entreprise afin de produire des modèles 3D. Il est destiné à remplacer l'ancien logiciel qui est incompatible avec les données du nouveau système. Le logiciel produira des images 3D indiviguelles de la face supérieure et de la face inférieure d'un iceberg, ainsi qu'une image 3D de l'iceberg dans son ensemble. La mesure des icebergs est nécessaire pour les opérations de gestion des icebergs sur toutes les plateformes pétrolières au large de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador.
