Underwater SLAM in man‐made structured environments [PDF]
AbstractThis paper describes a navigation system for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in partially structured environments, such as dams, harbors, marinas, and marine platforms. A mechanically scanned imaging sonar is used to obtain information about the location of vertical planar structures present in such environments. A robust voting algorithm

Underwater image enhancement algorithm based on dark channel prior and underwater imaging model [PDF]
The main reason for the degradation of the underwater image is the light absorption and scattering. The images are captured in the underwater environment often have some problems such as loss of image information, low contrast, and color distortion.

Distributed localization in cluttered underwater environments
Mapping and exploration of closed fluid tanks, such as nuclear waste storage tanks and water sewage treatment ponds, by a swarm of underwater robots requires them to be aware of their positions, as they traverse the depths of the tank. This paper considers the challenges faced in localizing robots using reference-based localization in such clutter ...

Source localization in shallow ocean using a deep learning approach with range-dependent sound speed profile modeling [PDF]
Model-based deep learning approaches provide an alternative scheme to address the problem of the shortage of training data. However, performance degradation caused by sound speed profile (SSP) mismatch remains a critical challenge, particularly in ...

Underwater Object Segmentation Integrating Transmission and Saliency Features
Various types of knowledge and features have been explored for level set-based segmentation. On the ground, the prior knowledge and carefully-designed features perform well to identify the foreground-background contrast, which improves the performance of
