Purpose The purpose of this research is to provide the necessarily and resourceful
information regarding range sensors to select the best fit sensor for robust autonomous …

In this work we address the challenge of predicting the missing dimension (elevation angle)
from 2D underwater sonar images. The high noise levels in these images, from phenomena …

Detection of underwater structures using a multi-beam forward looking sonar poses
significant challenges due to various factors such as sonar noise and multi-path acoustic …

In this work we develop a novel framework that enables the real-time 3D reconstruction of
underwater environments using features from 2D sonar images. Due to noisy and low …

We present a novel low cost time-of-flight (ToF) sensor deck for micro UAVs capable of
sparse range measurements for localisation and map**. In disaster scenarios such as …

Deep learning has recently revolutionized robot perception in many canonical robotic
applications, such as autonomous driving. However, a similar transformation has yet to …

In this work we address the problem of identifying informative images gathered by
underwater sonar. We define informative frames as those containing enough clarity and …

This study explores the physical capabilities of the beam of a mechanical scanning imaging
sonar to build a map of the surrounding environment and to find the location of the vehicle …

While robotic systems may have once been relegated to structured environments and
automation style tasks, in recent years these boundaries have begun to erode. As robots …
