Research on Obstacle Recognition for UUV Based on Multi-beam Forward Looking Sonar
نویسنده
چکیده
Obstacle recognition is one of the key technologies for Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV). In this paper, the design of obstacle recognition based on multi-beam forward looking sonar is presented. First of all, Gaussian mixed model operator is adopted in adaptive threshold segmentation to segment the sonar image into regions of interest and background. Secondly, we use morphological operation to remove noise and pseudo-target in the image. At last, obstacle contour is fitted into an ellipse using least squares method and then we calculate minimum and maximum distance, maximum and minimum azimuth angle between obstacle and multi-beam forward looking sonar. Results obtained on real sonar data are shown and discussed. Our experimental results show that the way can obtain accurate obstacle distance and azimuth angle information.

Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles Based on an Improved Velocity Obstacle Method
In view of a dynamic obstacle environment with motion uncertainty, we present a dynamic collision avoidance method based on the collision risk assessment and improved velocity obstacle method. First, through the fusion optimization of forward-looking sonar data, the redundancy of the data is reduced and the position, size and velocity information of the obstacles are obtained, which can provide...

The paper discusses the use of dual stave forward-looking sonar to build a threedimensional underwater model for navigation in restricted waterways. The sonar normally provides separate horizontal and vertical images but when the information is synthesized into a single three-dimensional model it permits, in certain circumstances, the AUV to plan and carry out a trajectory where no path is othe...
