MUMM Software packages

• User interface MAUVE (MMI) (I3S)

• Contouring and segmentation of video images (I3S-IST) – for habitat mapping and other applications such

as the quantification of oil spilled at sea(i.e. in the frame of the Bonn agreement)

MUMMVision of the industrial partner

(TUS) on the TIP- TUS and its Partners pursue a knowledge

acquisition strategy on AUV since 10 years

- SUMARE results complement those obtained through many years of self funded R&D and several domestic and European cooperation programs.

MUMMVision of the industrial partner

(TUS) on the TIP- TUS has now re-focused on military

applications of AUV:

- Mostly MINE WARFARE

- Rapid Environment Assessment

- Lauching from submarines to escort convoys

MUMMVision of the industrial partner

(TUS) on the TIP Main SUMARE results (mostly due to CNRS-I3S) which could be

used in this context (after agreement with CNRS-I3S) are :

- Improved Navigation (provide ability to navigate near surface / bottom)

- Ability to run a pre-set mission

- Fault tolerant positionning and trajectory control system

- Data acquisition (environment probing, Mines detection and classification,…)
