DEVELOPMENT WAVE WAKE MONITORING SYSTEM USING MATLAB

Abstract

This project is related to the development of wave wakes monitoring system using Matlab which is induced by two selected boats 6.4 meter and 8.53 meter lengths higher and lower than 10 knots speed at Jetty Kampung Baharu, Lumut, Perak. Wave wakes will generated by the impact of hull geometry, boat’s speed and propeller. Wave wake give erosion to shore and jetty and damage ecology habitat around the shore. Some number of equipment are used to measure wave wake’s parameters. Wave height is collected instantaneously with water temperature using water level logger. Besides that, video during boat crossing is recorded for verification purpose. The collected data through the process of pre-processing, feature extraction and feature classification. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and fractal dimension using Katz algorithms for feature extraction.
