Mapping 3D Underwater Environments with Smoothed Submaps

This paper presents a technique for improved mapping of complex underwater environments. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are becoming valuable tools for inspection of underwater infrastructure, and can create 3D maps of their environment using high-frequency profiling sonar. However, the quali...
