Location awareness is crucial for underwater applications; without it, gathered data would
be essentially useless. However, it is impossible to directly determine the location of an …

Abstract Localizing small Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) that have limited
payload and perception capability is of importance to promote popularization of underwater …

In the field of marine robotics, the problem of rangebased underwater target localization can
be defined as that of localizing an unknown-fixed or moving-target from a surface vehicle …

Range-based target localization is an important class of problems that arise in an increasing
number of scientific and commercial missions at sea. Underwater target localization refers to …

We present a non-convex, partially observable solution for underwater vehicle localization,
referred to as the time difference of arrival target motion analysis (TD-TMA). TD-TMA is …

This paper investigates a sensor selection scheme for optimal target localization with three-
dimensional (3-D) Angle of Arrival (AOA) estimation in Underwater Wireless Sensor …

The optimal formation configuration for underwater localization of autonomous underwater
vehicle (AUV) with a more general measurements model is investigated. The evaluation …

Underwater localization is one of the main problems that must be addressed in subsea
exploration, where no global positioning system (GPS) is available. In addition to the …

This article focuses on feature-based underwater localization and navigation for
autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) using 2-D imaging sonar measurements. The …

Precise underwater localization has been very challenging due to the unsynchronized clock,
stratification effect, and anchor location uncertainties. Although some localization methods …
