Autonomous Underwater Vehicles and Field of View in Underwater Operations

Submarine inspections and surveys require underwater vehicles to operate in deep waters efficiently, safely reliably. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles employing advanced navigation control systems present several advantages. Robust algorithms novel improvements positioning are needed optimize operations. This paper proposes a new general formulation of this problem together with basic approach for the management considers field view operational requirements as fundamental input development trajectory autonomous guidance system. The constraints involved variables also defined, providing more accurate modelling compared traditional formulations Different case studies presented based on commercial cameras/sonars, analysing influence main measurement process obtain optimal resolution results. application operations ensures suitable data acquisition processes according payload installed onboard.
