UNMANNED BOAT AUTOMATIC SURVEY SYSTEM AND UNMANNED BOAT AUTOMATIC SURVEY METHOD
First Claim
1. An unmanned boat automatic survey system comprising:
- a GPS carried on said unmanned boat for measuring the unmanned boat'"'"'s present position;
a reference survey line input unit for entering said unmanned boat'"'"'s reference survey line;
a survey route designating unit for designating said unmanned boat'"'"'s survey routes based on said reference survey line;
a navigation control unit for controlling the navigation of the unmanned boat referencing the present position measured by the GPS and the survey route set up by the survey route designating unit;
a survey equipment for surveying at least underwater or water bottom condition; and
a storage unit for storing at least underwater or water bottom condition surveyed by said survey equipment.

Abstract
The present invention is about an unmanned boat automatic survey device and an unmanned boat automatic surveying method that automatically generate survey routes and automatically survey underwater and water bottom conditions under the survey routes.
Under the present invention, a reference survey line is entered for generating a survey route (S1), and a plurality of survey routes are generated by translating the reference survey line at a fixed distance (S2). It then determines the distances of the generated survey routes and instructs a traversing order of the determined survey routes (S3), and causes the unmanned boat to navigate automatically according to the instructed traversing order. It surveys at least underwater or water bottom condition during the navigation (S5), and display and store the surveyed underwater or water bottom condition (S6).
