Guidance, Navigation and Control of Unmanned Surface Vehicles
at - Automatisierungstechnik, 2015Abstract In this paper, a framework for guidance, navigation and control of marine vehicles is proposed. The focus is on application of unmanned surface vehicle for performing high accuracy measuring tasks. The desired maneuvering path is defined as a combination of standard path sections and delivered to the guidance system.

Robust obstacle detection for unmanned surface vehicles
MIPPR 2017: Remote Sensing Image Processing, Geographic Information Systems, and Other Applications, 2018Obstacle detection is of essential importance for Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV). Although some obstacles (e.g., ships, islands) can be detected by Radar, there are many other obstacles (e.g., floating pieces of woods, swimmers) which are difficult to be detected via Radar because these obstacles have low radar cross section.

Basic navigation, guidance and control of an Unmanned Surface Vehicle
Autonomous Robots, 2008This paper discusses the navigation, guidance and control (NGC) system of an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) through extended at sea trials carried out with the prototype autonomous catamaran Charlie. In particular, experiments demonstrate the effectiveness, both for precision and power consumption, of extended Kalman filter and simple PID guidance and ...

Spatial correlation for unmanned surface vehicles
2005 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium, 2005The paper considers multi-sensor communications between low profile boats, such as unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), in a rough sea environment. We derive the expression of spatial correlation coefficients between two antennas, which is important in designing the configuration of multi-sensor systems.

Obstacle detection for Unmanned Surface Vehicle
2014 International Conference on Electrical Sciences and Technologies in Maghreb (CISTEM), 2014The goal of this paper is to present a new monocular vision system for obstacle detection to be used by USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle). This system is based on a monocular camera placed on a known height above the waterline. The technique used to calculate the distance between camera and obstacle depends on earth geometry and requires the prior horizon

Planning for Autonomous Operation of Unmanned Surface Vehicles
2016The growing variety and complexity of marine research and application oriented tasks requires unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) to operate fully autonomously over long time horizons even in environments with significant civilian traffic. The autonomous operations of the USV over long time horizons requires a path planner to compute paths over long ...
