dc.description.abstract | This paper presents a novel marine mapping system using an Autonomous
Surface Craft (ASC). The platform includes an extensive sensor suite for mapping
environments both above and below the water surface. A relatively small hull size
and shallow draft permits operation in cluttered and shallow environments. We address the Simultaneous Mapping and Localization (SLAM) problem for concurrent
mapping above and below the water in large scale marine environments. Our key
algorithmic contributions include: (1) methods to account for degradation of GPS
in close proximity to bridges or foliage canopies and (2) scalable systems for management of large volumes of sensor data to allow for consistent online mapping
under limited physical memory. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate
the approach for mapping selected structures along the Charles River in Boston. | en_US |
