  1. 1. Multi-Resolution Inference of Bathymetry From Sidescan Sonar

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

    Author : Zhengjie Ji; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : How to obtain complete and high-resolution bathymetry is an important research topic in the underwater domain. However, existing methods have certain shortcomings. Multibeam echosounder (MBES) can produce narrow beam range readings of the seafloor, but there is an interval between every two beams (between 10cm to 10m), and the resolution is low. READ MORE

  3. 2. AUV SLAM constraint formation using side scan sonar

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

    Author : Marco Schouten; [2022]
    Keywords : AUV; Side Scan Sonar; Pose Estimation; SLAM; Optimisation; AUV; Side Scan Sonar; Pose Estimation; SLAM; Optimisation;

    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

  4. 3. Submap Correspondences for Bathymetric SLAM Using Deep Neural Networks

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

    Author : Jiarui Tan; [2022]
    Keywords : Underwater simultaneous localization and mapping; Multibeam echosounder; Point cloud registration; Deep learning; Undervattens simultan lokalisering och kartläggning; Multibeam ekolod; Punktmolnsregistrering; Djupinlärning;

    Abstract : Underwater navigation is a key technology for exploring the oceans and exploiting their resources. For autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to explore the marine environment efficiently and securely, underwater simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) systems are often indispensable due to the lack of the global positioning system (GPS).

  5. 4. Glacial morphology and bathymetric mapping in Melville Bay, Western Greenland - Multibeam and backscatter mosaic

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaper

    Author : Caroline Bringensparr; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : During the VEGA Expedition, in June 2013, reflectivity (backscatter) and depth data wasacquired with a multibeam echosounder from an approximately 140 km2 large area in MelvilleBay, off the coast of Western Greenland. One of the expedition objectives was to search for andmap evidences of a grounded ice sheet, which is likely to have reached the edge of the continentalshelf during the Last Glacial Maximum, about 20 000 years ago.
