Underwater Multi-Vehicle Trajectory Alignment and Mapping Using Acoustic and Optical Constraints
Multi-robot formations are an important advance in recent robotic developments, as they allow a group of robots to merge their capacities and perform surveys in a more convenient way. With the aim of keeping the costs and acoustic communications to a minimum, cooperative navigation of multiple underwater vehicles is usually performed at the control level. In order to maintain the desired format...
متن کاملUnderwater Mosaicing and Trajectory Reconstruction using Global Alignment
This paper deals with the problem of constructing high quality mosaics of the sea bed. It focuses on the use of long image sequences with time-distant superpositions, such as the ones arising from loop trajectories or zig-zag scanning patterns. An algorithm is presented for the simultaneous creation of mosaics and the estimation of the camera trajectory. The method comprises three major stages....
متن کاملA new global alignment approach for underwater optical mapping
Lately, underwater vehicles have become important tools for exploration, monitoring and creation of maps of the seabed. Within mapping applications, the maps obtained from optical data are becoming optical sensors and does not allow the area of interest to be imaged in a single image. Therefore, image mosaicing methods are necessary. Although recent advances in detection of correspondences betw...
متن کاملMulti-vehicle Dynamic Pursuit Using Underwater Acoustics
Marine robots communicating wirelessly is an increasingly attractive means for observing and monitoring in the ocean, but acoustic communication remains a major impediment to real-time control. In this paper we address through experiments the capability of acoustics to sustain highly dynamic, multi-agent missions, in particular range-only pursuit in a challenging shallow-water environment. We p...
متن کاملAutonomous Underwater Vehicle Hull Geometry Optimization Using a Multi-objective Algorithm Approach
Abstarct In this paper, a new approach to optimize an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) hull geometry is presented. Using this methode, the nose and tail of an underwater vehicle are designed, such that their length constraints due to the arrangement of different components in the AUV body are properly addressed. In the current study, an optimal design for the body profile of a torpedo-shaped...
