Advanced perception, navigation and planning for autonomous in-water ship hull inspection
Inspection of ship hulls and marine structures using autonomous underwater vehicles has emerged as a unique and challenging application of robotics. The problem poses rich questions in physical design and operation, perception and navigation, and planning, driven by difficulties arising from the acoustic environment, poor water quality and the highly complex structures to be inspected. In this ...
متن کاملTowards Autonomous Ship Hull Inspection using the Bluefin HAUV
In this paper we describe our effort to automate ship hull inspection for security applications. Our main contribution is a system that is capable of drift-free self-localization on a ship hull for extended periods of time. Maintaining accurate localization for the duration of a mission is important for navigation and for ensuring full coverage of the area to be inspected. We exclusively use on...
متن کاملLong-term Mapping Techniques for Ship Hull Inspection and Surveillance using an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
This paper reports on a system for an autonomous underwater vehicle to perform in-situ, multiple session, hull inspection using long-term simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Our method assumes very little a-priori knowledge, and does not require the aid of acoustic beacons for navigation, which is a typical mode of navigation in this type of application. Our system combines recent tec...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Vision System for Ship Hull Inspection
This work introduces a strategy to improve the performance of visual ship hull inspection using a Remotely-Operated Vehicle (ROV) as its underwater vehicle platform. The proposed method is aimed at developing a system that will maintain the camera viewing angle parallel to the ship hull surface. This system consists of four main units, namely, camera, laser pointers, pan-tilt platform and Carte...
متن کاملCONSIDERATION OF DESIGN FOR PRODUCTION PRINCIPLES IN SHIP HULL DESIGN
In designing for ship production, the production method should be considered and it’s possible to reduce the manufacturing cost in designing procedure. A review of background of ship design that had minimized production costs, shows the principles and problems of these methods. Modern designing methods for manufacturing, considers hydrodynamic efficiency and less manufacturing cost. Quant...
