Sensor based navigation and localization methods for autonomous underwater vehicles [electronic resource]

An algorithm designed to navigate an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) within a charted environment is presented. The algorithm processes sensor inputs from the AUV high resolution scanning sonar, compass and velocimeter. The operating environment is modeled with a suitable three dimensional poten...
