Pose-Graph SLAM for Underwater Navigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This chapter reviews the concept of pose-graph simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) for underwater navigation. We show that pose-graph SLAM is a generalized framework that can be applied to many diverse underwater navigation problems in marine robotics. We highlight three specific examples as applied in the areas of autonomous ship hull inspection and multi-vehicle cooperative navigation.

Belief-space Planning for Active Visual SLAM in Underwater Environments
Autonomous mobile robots operating in a priori unknown environments must be able to integrate path planning with simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in order to perform tasks like exploration, search and rescue, inspection, reconnaissance, target-tracking, and others. This level of autonomy is especially difficult in underwater environments, where GPS is unavailable, communication is l...
متن کاملThesis Summary: Active Visual SLAM with Exploration for Autonomous Underwater Navigation
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have played an important role in scientific research due to their ability to collect data in underwater environments that are either inaccessible or too dangerous for humans to explore. Other than explorations, underwater structures such as dams, ship hulls, harbors and pipelines also need to be periodically inspected for assessment, maintenance and securit...
متن کاملAutonomous Navigation for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Based on Information Filters and Active Sensing
This paper addresses an autonomous navigation method for the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) C-Ranger applying information-filter-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), and its sea trial experiments in Tuandao Bay (Shangdong Province, P.R. China). Weak links in the information matrix in an extended information filter (EIF) can be pruned to achieve an efficient approach-sparse E...
متن کاملPath Planning with Pose SLAM IRI Technical Report
The probabilistic belief networks that result from standard feature-based simultaneous localization and map building (SLAM) approaches cannot be directly used to plan trajectories. The reason is that they produce a sparse graph of landmark estimates and their probabilistic relations, which is of little value to find collision free paths for navigation. In contrast, we argue in this paper that P...
