This book reports on findings at the intersection between two
related fields, namely coastal hydrography and marine robotics. On
one side, it shows how the exploration of the ocean can be
performed by autonomous underwater vehicles; on the other side, it
shows how some methods from hydrography can be implemented in the
localization and navigation of such vehicles, e.g. for target
identification or path finding. Partially based on contributions
presented at the conference Quantitative Monitoring of Underwater
Environment, MOQESM, held on October 11-12, 2016, Brest, France,
this book includes carefully revised and extended chapters
presented at the conference, together with original papers not
related to the event. All in all, it provides readers with a
snapshot of current methods for sonar track registration,
multi-vehicles control, collective exploration of underwater
environments, optimization of propulsion systems, among others.
More than that, the book is aimed as source of inspiration and tool
to promote further discussions and collaboration between
hydrographers, robotic specialists and other related communities.
This volume constitutes the results of the International Conference
on Underwater Environment, MOQESM'14, held at "Le Quartz"
Conference Center in Brest, France, on October 14-15, 2014, within
the framework of the 9th Sea Tech Week, International Marine
Science and Technology Event. The objective of MOQESM'14 was to
bring together researchers from both academia and industry,
interested in marine robotics and hydrography with application to
the coastal environment mapping and underwater infrastructures
surveys. The common thread of the conference is the combination of
technical control, perception, and localization, typically used in
robotics, with the methods of mapping and bathymetry. The papers
presented in this book focus on two main topics. Firstly, coastal
and infrastructure mapping is addressed, focusing not only on
hydrographic systems, but also on positioning systems, bathymetry,
and remote sensing. The proposed methods rely on acoustic sensors
such as side scan sonars, multibeam echo sounders, phase-measuring
bathymetric sonars, as well as optical systems such as underwater
laser scanners. Accurate underwater positioning is also addressed
in the case of the use of a single acoustic beacon, and the latest
advances in increasing the vertical precision of Global Navigation
Satellite System (GNSS) are also presented. Most of the above
mentioned works are closely related to autonomous marine vehicles.
Consequently, the second part of the book describes some works
concerning the methods associated with such type of vehicles. The
selected papers focus on autonomous surface or underwater vehicles,
detailing new approaches for localization, modeling, control,
mapping, obstacle detection and avoidance, surfacing, and software
development. Some of these works imply acoustics sensing as well as
image processing. Set membership methods are also used in some
papers. The applications of the work presented in this book concern
in particular oceanography, monitoring of oil and gas
infrastructures, and military field.
