Scanning Parametric Sediment Echosounder as Tool for Underwater Archaeological Prospection

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Underwater cultural heritage 3D prospection techniques, especially for remains that are partly buried in the ground, are only very rarely available and often can only be applied with considerable technical effort. To overcome this limitation, we evaluate a methodological adaption of widely used and available single channel parametric sediment ...

A novel approach for in situ benthic habitat characterization

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Habitat heterogeneity is a key driver of temporal and spatial variability of subtidal marine benthic biodiversity. However, this makes it a challenging environment in which to measure and quantify the factors driving biodiversity in a consistent manner.

Linear System Identification and Control of a Low‐Cost High‐Performance Omnidirectional Marine Surface Vehicle for Swarming Applications

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine operations traditionally rely on human intervention, a costly and disruptive method. Autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) offer a powerful alternative, capable of operating autonomously, for extended periods, and with various sensors for various missions.

Clustering Cloud-Like Model-Based Targets Underwater Tracking for AUVs

Sensors, 2019
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) rely on a mechanically scanned imaging sonar that is fixedly mounted on AUVs for underwater target barrier-avoiding and tracking. When underwater targets cross or approach each other, AUVs sometimes fail to track, or

Hybrid Path Planning Using a Bionic-Inspired Optimization Algorithm for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
This research presents a hybrid approach for path planning of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). During path planning, static obstacles affect the desired path and path distance which result in collision penalties.

FLSea: Underwater Visual–Inertial and Stereovision Forward‐Looking Data Sets

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Visibility underwater is challenging and degrades as the distance between the subject and the camera increases. That is why forward‐looking underwater computer vision tasks are difficult. We have collected underwater forward‐looking stereovision and visual–inertial image sets using two underwater imaging platforms, a stereo camera rig, and an ...
