Abstract

Autonomous underwater navigation remains, as of today, a challenging task. The marine environment limits the number of sensors available for precise localization, hence Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) usually rely on inertial and velocity sensors to obtain
an estimate [...]

Abstract

This paper presents a fast and accurate classification method for underwater objects using underwater mapping data obtained by a small Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) and autonomous surface vehicle (ASV). For the mapping data, in addition to underwater acoustic reflection intensity [...]
