Unmanned Mini Boat Design for the Camera Bearer of the Vannamei Shrimp Monitoring Device

Abstract

The research of vanamei shrimp counting has been developed by numerous scientists, but image processing in actual pond didn’t progress well. The used of image processing based on the way of capturing the image from the shrimp which located on the bottom of the pond. The way to capture the image was to put a camera under the deck of a boat. Catamaran boat model was selected to build a boat that will bring up a camera that will used to capture shrimp image. The Catamaran boat with Loa (entire length of boat body) = 670 mm, Lenght water line (Lwl) = 650 mm, B (width) = 300 mm, T (full/high) = 180 mm, Cb (block coefficient) = 0,55 and Vs (speed) = 19 knots was built to accommodate this matter. The size and specification were chosen to maintain any possibility issue that might happen when the vannamei shrimp monitoring system work.
