D. R. Yoerger, M. Jakuba, A.M. Bradley, B. Bingham,, Techniques for Deep Sea Near Bottom Survey Using an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, International Journal of Robotics Research, January 2007
This paper reports the development and at-sea deployment of a set of algorithms that have enabled the autonomous underwater vehicle ABE to conduct near-bottom surveys in the deep sea. Algorithms for long baseline acoustic positioning, terrain-following, and automated nested surveys are reported. |
