Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010142526A1] The invention relates to a method for detecting anomalies on a submarine object, in particular in the submarine region on a hull (15) of a moored watercraft (11), which method carries out very reliable sensing of the submarine object by way of an unmanned small submarine vehicle (17) that is equipped with simple sensor equipment, such as an acoustic sensor (20) for measuring distances and a barometric cell (21) for determining depth, and which method obtains a profile of the submarine object by navigating the small submarine vehicle (17) with a constant transversal distance to the submarine object, in which profile an anomaly present on the submarine object becomes is apparent from the profile line.
