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

The deep-sea mining vehicle is one of the key equipment for deep-sea mining system,
which needs to complete tasks such as traveling on the seabed, ore crushing, ore collection …

Underwater localization is a challenging task due to the lack of a Global Positioning System
(GPS). However, the capability to match georeferenced aerial images and acoustic data can …

Reliable navigation systems are fundamental for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)
to perform complex tasks and missions. It is well known that the Global Positioning System …

This work considers the processing of acoustic data from a multibeam forward-looking sonar
(FLS) on a moving underwater platform to estimate the platform's attitude and trajectory. We …

Following an underwater chain using an autonomous vehicle can be a first step towards
more efficient solutions for cleaning and inspecting mooring chains. We propose to use …

This research addresses the challenge of estimating the ego-motion of a forward-looking
sonar (FLS) through deep neural networks (DNNs) and their application in autonomous …

In this paper, we introduce Fourier-SOFT 2D (FS2D) as a new robust registration method.
FS2D operates in the frequency domain where it exploits the well-known decoupling of …
