Investigation of sea wave countermeasures in undersea position estimating system using electromagnetic waves

Abstract

When divers rescue people in accidents at sea, they are exposed to dangers such as injuries by obstacles, and so on. If the divers can confirm their position, their rescue activities will become safer. In the previous study, assuming that we specify the positions of the divers performing rescue operations to support their work, we developed a 3D undersea position estimation algorithm communicating between the undersea and the sea surface. However, we did not yet consider the effects and countermeasures of sea waves. In this paper, we indicate the effects of sea waves on the algorithm and investigate wave countermeasures.
