Using fiducial markers ensures reliable detection and identification of planar features in
images. Fiducials are used in a wide range of applications, especially when a reliable visual …

In this paper, we propose an underwater object detection method using monocular vision
sensors. In addition to commonly used visual features such as color and intensity, we …

This article proposes an unscented Kalman filter‐based visual docking controller for
underactuated underwater vehicles using a position‐based visual servoing (PBVS) …

In order to realize recovery of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), the L-shaped light
array installed at the bottom of the fork-carrying-pole docking device is designed, and the …

The potential of using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for underwater exploration
is confined by its limited on-board battery energy and data storage capacity. This problem …

A critical challenge for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) is the docking operation for
applications such as sleeping under the mother ship, recharging batteries, transferring data …

It is well known that docking of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) provides scope to
perform long duration deep-sea exploration. A large amount of literature is available on …

The recently increased interests in visual measurement and control applied to underwater
robots have challenged the existing visual technologies that once were sufficient in ground …

This paper deals with vision-based localization techniques in structured underwater
environments. For underwater robots, accurate localization is necessary to perform complex …
