A parallel hypothesis method of autonomous underwater vehicle navigation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
This research presents a parallel hypothesis method for autonomous underwater vehicle navigation that enables a vehicle to expand the operating envelope of existing long baseline acoustic navigation systems by incorporating ...
Characterization of underwater target geometry from autonomous underwater vehicle sampling of bistatic acoustic scattered fields
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
One of the long term goals of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) minehunting is to have multiple inexpensive AUVs in a harbor autonomously classify hazards. Existing acoustic methods for target classification using AUV-based ...
Computational strategies for understanding underwater optical image datasets
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
A fundamental problem in autonomous underwater robotics is the high latency between the capture of image data and the time at which operators are able to gain a visual understanding of the survey environment. Typical ...
Cooperative localization for autonomous underwater vehicles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Self-localization of an underwater vehicle is particularly challenging due to the absence of Global Positioning System (GPS) reception or features at known positions that could otherwise have been used for position ...
Autonomous & adaptive oceanographic feature tracking on board autonomous underwater vehicles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
The capabilities of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and their ability to perform tasks both autonomously and adaptively are rapidly improving, and the desire to quickly and efficiently sample the ocean environment ...
