This paper proposes the use of path-planning algorithms for hovering autonomous
underwater vehicles (AUVs) in applications where the robot needs to adapt online its …

Abstract Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are used by the scientific community for
various applications, from collecting well‐distributed high‐quality data to map** the …

This study presents a novel octree‐based three‐dimensional (3D) exploration and coverage
method for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Robotic exploration can be defined as …

A new algorithm called the Mondrian detector has been developed for object detection in
high-frequency synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) imagery. If a second (low) frequency-band …

In this letter we address the mine countermeasures (MCM) search problem for an
autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) surveying the seabed using a side-looking sonar …

Using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for map** underwater topography of sea-
ice and icebergs, or detecting keels of ice ridges, is foreseen as enabling technology in …

Abstract An Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) able to estimate the direction and the magnitude
of a priori unknown marine currents is described in the paper; the currents estimation is …

In this letter, we propose a method to automate the exploration of unknown underwater
structures for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The proposed algorithm iteratively …

To autonomously explore complex underwater environments, it is convenient to develop
motion planning strategies that do not depend on prior information. In this publication, we …

Deep learning has enabled significant improvements in semantic image segmentation,
especially in underwater imaging domains such as side scan sonar (SSS). In this work, we …
