Large scale optical mapping methods are in great demand among
scientists who study different aspects of the seabed, and have been
fostered by impressive advances in the capabilities of underwater
robots in gathering optical data from the seafloor. Cost and weight
constraints mean that low-cost ROVs usually have a very limited
number of sensors. When a low-cost robot carries out a seafloor
survey using a down-looking camera, it usually follows a predefined
trajectory that provides several non time-consecutive overlapping
image pairs. Finding these pairs (a process known as topology
estimation) is indispensable to obtaining globally consistent
mosaics and accurate trajectory estimates, which are necessary for
a global view of the surveyed area, especially when optical sensors
are the only data source. This book contributes to the state-of-art
in large area image mosaicing methods for underwater surveys using
low-cost vehicles equipped with a very limited sensor suite. The
main focus has been on global alignment and fast topology
estimation, which are the most challenging steps in creating large
area image mosaics. This book is intended to emphasise the
importance of the topology estimation problem and to present
different solutions using interdisciplinary approaches opening a
way to further develop new strategies and methodologies.
