We present an underwater localization system for medium-sized Autonomous Underwater
Vehicles (AUVs) that leverages a broadband wireless acoustic communication system for …

The localization of underwater targets has been one of the goals of underwater acoustics
since its inception in the early 20th century. More recently, the rise of underwater sensor …

The underwater medium is an extreme environment for achieving accurate localization due
to its many challenges, some of which includes propagation delay, multipath, rough …

Introduction Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are required to thoroughly scan
designated areas during underwater missions. They typically follow a zig-zag trajectory to …

Beacon-aided autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) localization supporting maritime
surveillance applications in underwater acoustic sensor networks selects a fixed number of …

In recent years, sonar systems for surface and underwater vehicles have increased in
resolution and become significantly less expensive. As such, these systems are viable at a …

Localization is vital and fundamental for underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs), as it
provides location information for UASNs to achieve various practical underwater tasks. Most …

This study proposes a method for generating a high-precision three-dimensional (3D) map
using two-dimensional (2D) sonar images from an imaging sonar installed on an …

Underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) have been widely applied in marine
monitoring, military reconnaissance, hydrology surveys, etc. Their location information is an …

Underwater localization is used as a key element in most applications of underwater
