Advances in acoustic technology and instrumentation now make it possible to explore
marine resources. As a significant component of ocean exploration, underwater acoustic …

For more than half a century, the Hough transform is ever-expanding for new frontiers.
Thousands of research papers and numerous applications have evolved over the decades …

Using traditional sonar arrays may be difficult and impractical in some mission-critical
scenarios, because they should be mounted on or towed by a ship or a submersible …

Subsea power and telecommunication transmission lines play an important role in today's
world. They not only provide a link from shore to shore, but also connect an increasing …

In this paper, a new approach is proposed for detection of an underwater cable, which
makes an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) capable for automatic tracking. In this …

Many industrial processes require on-line measurement of particle size and particle size
distribution for process monitoring and control. The available techniques for reliable on-line …

Ropes are often laid on the sea floor to guide remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) in the
underwater inspection of breakwater construction. This paper proposes an algorithm to …

On one hand, due to the energy and bandwidth constraint of underwater wireless sensor
networks (UWSNs), local data quantization/compression is not only a necessity, but also an …

This study proposes the development of an underwater object-tracking control system
through an image-processing technique. It is used for the close-range recognition and …
