Localisation, ie estimation of one's position in a given environment is a crucial element of
many mobile systems, manned and unmanned. Due to the high demand for autonomous …

This paper describes an algorithm for distributed acoustic navigation for Autonomous
Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). Whereas typical AUV navigation systems utilize pre-calibrated …

This paper investigates optimal sensor placement strategies for angle-of-arrival (AOA)
localization in three-dimensional space. We adopt the A-optimality criterion to determine …

Commercial motion-capture systems produce excellent in-studio reconstructions, but offer
no comparable solution for acquisition in everyday environments. We present a system for …

Covering about three quarters of the surface area of the earth, the ocean is a critical source
of sustenance, medicine, and commerce. However, such vast expanse in both surface area …

With recent advances in battery capacity and the development of hydrogen fuel cells,
autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are being used to undertake longer missions that …

The goals of this article are twofold. First, we detail the operations and discuss the results of
the 2005 Chios ancient shipwreck survey. This survey was conducted by an international …
