Profile Following for Inspection of Underwater Structures
We present a seabed profile estimation and following method for close proximity inspection of 3D underwater structures using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The presented method is used to determine a path allowing the AUV to pass its sensors over all points of the target structure, which is known as coverage path planning. Our profile following method goes beyond traditional seabed foll...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
A System of Multi-AUV Interlinked with a Smart Cable for Autonomous Inspection of Underwater Structures
In this paper we present the concept of a multi-AUV system interconnected by a smart cable that contains 3-D positioning sensors for rapid inspection of large underwater structures in a limited mission timeframe. The smart cable provides not only the position of the end-points (AUV locations) but also its own shape in real-time, while also acting as a communication link between AUV. Using this ...
متن کاملAutomated Robotic Monitoring and Inspection of Steel Structures and Bridges
This paper presents visual and 3D structure inspection for steel structures and bridges using a developed climbing robot. The robot can move freely on a steel surface, carry sensors, collect data and then send to the ground station in real time for monitoring as well as further processing. Steel surface image stitching and 3D map building are conducted to provide a current condition of the stru...
متن کاملAUV Application for Inspection of Underwater Communications
Regular inspection of underwater communications (pipelines and cables) is actual problem of modern oil and gas industry. Specially equipped vessels, towed underwater devices and remote operated vehicles /ROV/ are applied for these purposes as usually, but quality of acquired data does not always allow revealing emergencies at the proper time. “Spot” inspections by ROVs give difficultly comparab...
