1. Autonomous Navigation: LIDAR-based SLAM, Terrain of Technology Explored
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknikAbstract : In this thesis, an autonomous system capable of navigating and mapping unknown environments is developed. The solution uses a family of algorithms called SLAM or simultaneous localization and mapping, capable of mapping the environment and retaining accurate position data without external sensors such as GPS.

2. Skyline Delineation for Localization in Occluded Environments : Improved Skyline Delineation using Environmental Context from Deep Learning-based Semantic Segmentation
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : This thesis addresses the problem of improving the delineation of skylines, also referred to as skyline detection, in occluded and challenging environments where existing skyline delineation methods may struggle or fail. Delineated skylines can be used in monocular camera localization methods by comparing delineated skylines to digital elevation model data to estimate a position based on known terrain. READ MORE

3. Terrain Referenced Navigation with Path Optimization : Optimizing Navigation Accuracy by Path Planning
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Terrain referenced navigation is a method of navigation that uses measurements of altitude above ground to infer the position of the vehicle, mainly aerial or underwater. This method provides an alternative to the commonly used satellite-based navigation. READ MORE

4. Optical Navigation for Autonomous Approach of Unexplored Small Bodies
University essay from KTH/RymdteknikAbstract : This thesis presents an autonomous vision-based navigation strategy applicable to the approach phase of a small body mission, developed within the Robotics Section at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Today, the operations performed to approach small planetary bodies are largely dependent on ground support and human decision-making, which demand operational complexity and restrict the spectrum of achievable activities throughout the mission.

5. Finding the most suitable auxiliary sonar for terrain-aided navigation and behavior-fusion based obstacle avoidance for an autonomous underwater vehicle
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : Autonomous underwater vehicles are rapidly becoming more common and developed for both military as well as civilian applications such as; mine countermeasures or in the field of geoscience. One of the main issues these vehicles are facing today is the navigation capability. READ MORE
