Since remote times, mankind has been bound to water bodies and evidence of human life
from the very beginning hides under the water level, off the coasts, under shallow seas or …

In both the industrial and scientific fields, the need for very high-resolution cartographic data
is constantly increasing. With the aging of offshore subsea assets, it is very important to plan …

Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) revolutionized the subsea industry when they were
introduced in the 1960s. They were more powerful and inherently safer, and they could go …

Underwater perception and 3D surface reconstruction are challenging problems with broad
applications in construction, security, marine archaeology, and environmental monitoring …

Monitoring the status of culture fish is an essential task for precision aquaculture using a
smart underwater imaging device as a non-intrusive way of sensing to monitor freely …

In underwater environments, imaging devices suffer from water turbidity, attenuation of
lights, scattering, and particles, leading to low quality, poor contrast, and biased color …

Underwater communication cables transport large amounts of sensitive information between
countries. This fact converts these cables into a critical infrastructure that must be protected …

The main goal of this paper was to design and construct a hybrid autonomous underwater
glider (HAUG) with a torpedo shape, a size of 230 cm in length and 24 cm in diameter. The …

Deep convolutional neural networks generally perform well in underwater object recognition
tasks on both optical and sonar images. Many such methods require hundreds, if not …

Marine growth challenges the structural integrity of offshore facilities due to increased hydro
dynamical loads. As a consequence, marine growth cleaning on offshore structures has …
