Riprap of river levees underwater detection method was described: positioning using two dual-frequency GPS receiver instantaneous. a set of GPS stations located in the ground, another set of GPS stations in tracking, their receiving antenna cables in fixed detector position; using the chirp of shallow stratigraphic profile, will launch a probe into the water, and the use of navigation software for water position that the importation of the initial design Coordinate Measuring line; By design measuring line navigation, taking flight, using continuous measurement mode, real-time record measured coordinates track location map; use of shallow stratigraphic profile of underwater riprap areas Detection, stratigraphic section acoustic recordings; to track location map and stratigraphic section sound and graphics combined with a variety of conditions underwater riprap A typical shallow image control features, thereby detecting underwater riprap, without judgment Stone, a stone and the stone siltation coverage area. The invention of the underwater riprap levee provides an effective and reliable detection method to record high resolution, visual power.
