Trajectory Sonar Perception in the Ligurian Sea
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a new technique for tracking locally curved unknown objects using sonar. The approach explicitly accounts for relevant robot dynamics. Objects are tracked by looking for temporal sequences of observations that fit a kinematic model. The method is illustrated using data from a synthetic aperture sonar gathered by a BPAUV at NATO SACLANT’s GOATS 2002 experiment in the Ligurian Sea.

Acquiring Mobile Robot Behaviors by Learning Trajectory Velocities with Multiple FAM Matrices
In this paper we describe an unsupervised robot learning method which is based on the robot learning a mapping between sensors and trajectory velocities. This enables the robot to acquire object avoidance, wall following and goal seeking behaviors simultaneously without incurring the credit assignment problem. To improve the robot’s perception and behaviors we provide the robot with 7 FAM matri...
متن کاملInfluence of tropho-climatic environment and reproduction on lipid composition of the euphausiid Meganyctiphanes norvegica in the Ligurian Sea, the Clyde Sea and the Kattegat
Lipid content and lipid-class distribution in the northern krill Meganyctiphanes norvegica (M. Sars, 1857) was investigated in 3 contrasting (in terms of climatic and trophic conditions) areas: the Ligurian Sea, the Clyde Sea and the Kattegat. Seasonal differences in the lipid content of krill were closely related to food supply coupled with the krill reproductive state in both the Ligurian Sea...
متن کاملRobust underwater imaging with fast broadband incoherent synthetic aperture sonar
Synthetic aperture techniques have been of interest to the sonar imaging community, but suffer from the problems of maintaining phase coherence and a slow mapping rate. The need for rigorous and accurate platform trajectory monitoring oAen increases the design and implementation costs as well as the hardware complexity. This paper examines incoherent processing techniques and shows their potent...
متن کاملStudy of tsunami propagation in the Ligurian Sea
Tsunami propagation is analyzed for the Ligurian Sea with particular attention on the French coasts of the Mediterranean. Historical data of tsunami manifestation on the French coast are analyzed for the period 2000 B.C.– 1991 A.D. Numerical simulations of potential and historical tsunamis in the Ligurian Sea are done in the context of the nonlinear shallow water theory. Tsunami wave heights as...
متن کاملTowards Sonar Based Perception and Modelling for Unmanned Untethered Underwater Vehicles
The ability to automatically generate internal models from sensed data will be of critical importance in the development of flexible, adaptive and useful unmanned underwater vehicles. The subsequent recognition of objects based on these a-priori models, which may be incomplete or partial, will also be an essential component in the success of UUV missions. This paper describes and presents exper...
