Obstacle detection for Unmanned Surface Vehicle

2014 International Conference on Electrical Sciences and Technologies in Maghreb (CISTEM), 2014
The 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

Development and missions of unmanned surface vehicle

Journal of Marine Science and Application, 2010
The navy and other Department of Defense organizations are increasingly interested in the use of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) for a variety of missions and applications. The term USV refers to any vehicle that operates on the surface of the water without a crew.

Planning for Autonomous Operation of Unmanned Surface Vehicles

2016
The 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 ...

Cooperative Damage Inspection with Unmanned Surface Vehicle and Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle at Hurricane Wilma

2006 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2006
On Oct 24, 2005, Hurricane Wilma made landfall at Cape Romano, Florida. Two days later, the Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue (CRASAR) deployed an iSENSYS helicopter and an unmanned surface vehicle to survey damage in parts of Marco Island, 11 miles from landfall.

Course Control of Unmanned Surface Vehicle

Solid State Phenomena, 2013
The paper considers the problems of controlling a course of an Unmanned Surface Vehicle USV. To select proper course controller, following three methods were tested: PID, slide and fuzzy control. Moreover, to counteract sea current two methods were presented and compared by means of numerical research.
