  1. 1. Experiments with Visual Odometry for Hydrobatic Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Somnath Balaji Suresh Kumar; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydrobatic AUVs; VO; Stonefish; ORB-SLAM2; VISO2; Hydrobatiska AUV:er; VO; Stonefish; ORB-SLAM2; VISO2;

    Abstract : Hydrobatic Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are underactuated robots that can perform agile maneuvers in challenging underwater environments with high efficiency in speed and range. The challenge lies in localizing and navigating these AUVs particularly for performing manipulation tasks because common sensors such as GPS become very unreliable underwater due to their poor accuracy.

  3. 2. Robust light source detection for AUV docking

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Joar Edlund; [2023]
    Keywords : Autonomous Underwater Vehicle; Docking; Detection; Poseestimation; Visual Navigation; Autonoma Undervattensfordon; Dockning; Detektering; Positionsestimering; Visuell Navigation;

    Abstract : For Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to be able to conduct longterm surveys, the ability to return to a docking station for maintenance and recharging is crucial. A dynamic docking system where a slowly moving submarine acts as the docking station provides increased hydrodynamic control and reduces the impact of environmental disturbances. READ MORE

  4. 3. Marine Habitat Mapping Using Image Enhancement Techniques & Machine Learning

    University essay from Jönköping University/JTH, Avdelningen för datateknik och informatik

    Author : Mudasar Mureed; [2022]
    Keywords : Coral Reef; Habitat Mapping; Convolutional Neural Network; Transfer Learning; Fine Tuning; CLAHE;

    Abstract : AbstractThe mapping of habitats is the first step that is done in policies that target theenvironment, as well as in spatial planning and management. The biodiversityplans are always centered around habitats. Therefore, constant monitoring ofthese delicate species in terms of health, changes, and extinction is a must inbiodiversity plans.

  5. 4. Monocular Visual Odometry for Autonomous Underwater Navigation : An analysis of learning-based monocular visual odometry approaches in underwater scenarios

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Andrea Caraffa; [2021]
    Keywords : Deep Learning; Monocular Visual Odometry; Computer Vision; Autonomous Underwater Navigation; Autonomous Underwater Vehicle; Djupinlärning; Monokulär Visuell Odometri; Datorseende; Autonom Undervattensnavigering; Autonomt Undervattensfordon;

    Abstract : Visual Odometry (VO) is the process of estimating the relative motion of a vehicle by using solely image data gathered from the camera. In underwater environments, VO becomes extremely challenging but valuable since ordinary sensors for on-road localization are usually unpractical in these hostile environments. READ MORE

  6. 5. Local Feature Correspondence on Side-Scan Sonar Seafloor Images

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Li Ling; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In underwater environments, the perception and navigation systems are heavily dependent on the acoustic wave based sonar technology. Side-scan sonar (SSS) provides high-resolution, photo-realistic images of the seafloor at a relatively cheap price. READ MORE
