  1. 1. AUV SLAM constraint formation using side scan sonar

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

    Author : Marco Schouten; [2022]

    Abstract : Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) navigation has been a challenging problem for a long time. Navigation is challenging due to the drift present in underwater environments and the lack of precise localisation systems such as GPS. Therefore, the uncertainty of the vehicle’s pose grows with the mission’s duration. READ MORE

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

    Author : Hongsheng Chang; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sidescan sonar (SSS) is crucial in underwater investigation as it is cheaper and provide wider detection range. Sidescan sonars are typically mounted on Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) or vessels. READ MORE

  3. 3. 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

  4. 4. Machine Learning for Inferring Depth from Side-scan Sonar Images

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

    Author : Yiping Xie; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Underwater navigation using Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), which is significant for marine science research, highly depends on the acoustic method, sonar. Typically, AUVsare equipped with side-scan sonars and multibeam sonars at the same time since they both have their advantages and limitations. READ MORE
