Now in its third edition, this textbook is a comprehensive introduction to the multidisciplinary
field of mobile robotics, which lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence, computational …

When capturing images underwater, image formation is affected in two major ways. First, the
light rays traveling underwater are absorbed and scattered depending on their wavelength …

Underwater activities, such as surveying or interventions, carried out by autonomous robots,
can benefit greatly from using a vision system. Optics based systems provide information at …

This work presents a system for 3D reconstruction from underwater images or video. Aside
from a camera in an underwater housing, no special equipment is required. However, if …

The underwater environment presents many challenges for robotic sensing including highly
variable lighting, the presence of dynamic objects, and the six degree of freedom (6DOF) 3D …

This paper presents a new solution for underwater observation, image recording, map**
and 3D reconstruction in shallow waters. The platform, designed as a research and testing …

The underwater 3D reconstruction cartography has made great progress in the last decade.
The work presented in this paper is about the analysis and 3D reconstruction of …

The underwater cartography has made great progress in the last decade. In this paper, we
discuss of the 3D underwater cartography problem and propose a multimodal fusion …

Coral reef health is an indicator of global climate change and coral reefs themselves are
important for sheltering fish and other aquatic life. Monitoring reefs is a time-consuming and …

This paper proposes the design and validation of a new hermetic controller for mobile robots
working in a hazardous environment. Two years ago, we obtained very successful results …
