The dredge is precisely positioned through the use of a mini-sonar emitter mounted on the dredge, three sonar receivers mounted under the boat, and a set of sensors placed on the dredge crane. The dredge position information is used together with the crop inventory map to create an optimized dredge harvesting path. This path helps maximize the harvest of market-size crops\u00a0 while avoiding rocks and mud to reduce fuel consumption and labor costs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\"><strong><em>Environmental map:<\/em> <\/strong>In order to combine the collected data into an intuitive, legible map, the S3AM\u00a0 approach provides an environmental data \u201clearning model\u201d for the drone software that enables self-calibration.
