Improving distance estimation underwater: long-term effectiveness of training.

چکیده

Due to both optical distortion and water turbidity, divers are usually inaccurate when they estimate distances under water. Previous studies have demonstrated that training with feedback improves judgment accuracy. The present study showed that the effect of training diminishes considerably during the nine weeks following training. A more extensive training program is recommended for diving tasks in which distance estimation is important.

طراحی و پیاده‌سازی الگوریتم ناوبری AHRS/GPS/DR برای رونده‌های زیرسطحی خودگردان با برد بلند و ماندگاری بالا در زیر آب

Time-growing navigation error due to inevitable measurement errors in the MEMS-grade inertial sensor is one of the main challenges in low-cost inertial navigation systems (INSs). This paper aims to develop AHRS/GPS/DR integrated navigation algorithm for long-range autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). Proper performance in deals with long-term GPS outage is the main advantage of the proposed low...

Improvement of Absolute Distance Estimation Underwater: Use of Monocular Motion Parallax

The possible value of monocular motion parallax for improving distance perception under water was investigated. Submerged subjects either kept their heads stationary or rotated their heads about a vertical axis while judging the distance of objects placed 4-15 ft. away. Both before and after training with feedback to increase judgment accuracy, head movement did not significantly improve perfor...

An Efficient Data Aggregation Approach for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

The main goal of data aggregation technique is to gather data in energy manner for a long-term network monitoring. In data aggregation technique, the role of an aggregator is to collect sensed data from surrounding environment and transmit the collected data to base station. One part of data aggregation process is applying similarity function in order to minimize redundancy from the raw data an...
