This paper presents a survey on optical sensors and methods for 3D reconstruction in
underwater environments. The techniques to obtain range data have been listed and …

This paper presents experimental results using a newly developed 3D underwater laser
scanner mounted on an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for real‐time simultaneous …

The underwater structured light vision system has the characteristics of a large amount of
information, high measurement accuracy, and good robustness, which has attracted the …

Underwater 3-D perception is crucial for autonomous manipulation and mapping. Using a
mirror-galvanometer system to steer a laser line projector and using triangulation with a …

In this field note, we detail the operations and discuss the results of an experiment
conducted in the unstructured environment of an underwater cave complex using an …

Visual maps of the seafloor can provide objective information to characterize benthic
ecosystems and survey the distribution of mineral deposits on spatial scales that cannot be …

This study proposes a 3-D seafloor scanning method using sonar images obtained by an
acoustic lens-based multibeam sonar (ALMS). ALMS is a forward-looking sonar and is …

Exploiting stronger winds at offshore farms leads to a cyclical need for maintenance due to
the harsh maritime conditions. While autonomous vehicles are the prone solution for O&M …
