First direct observation of coseismic slip and seafloor rupture along a submarine normal fault and implications for fault slip history
Properly assessing the extent and magnitude of fault ruptures associated with large earthquakes is critical for understanding fault behavior and associated hazard. Submarine faults can trigger tsunamis, whose characteristics are defined by the geometry of seafloor...
A Flying Tool for Sensing Vessel Structures Defects using Image Contrast-based Saliency
High-Resolution Underwater Mapping Using Side-Scan Sonar
The goal of this study is to generate high-resolution sea floor maps using a Side-Scan Sonar(SSS). This is achieved by explicitly taking into account the SSS operation as follows. First, the raw sensor data is corrected by means of a physics-based SSS model. Second,...
Robust WorldCentric Stereo EKF Localization with Active Loop Closing for AUVs
Visual localization is a crucial task in Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) and it is usually complicated by the extreme irregularity of the natural aquatic environments, or by unfavorable water conditions. Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM)...
Optical Sensors and Methods for Underwater 3D Reconstruction
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 explained, together with the different sensor hardware that makes them possible. The literature has...
