Abstract

Authors have been developing the underwater robot that can be used for environmental protection work in the sea near Okinawa. It is difficult to get the position of underwater robot, because it cannot use GPS in sea. Authors have been developing the underwater robot to work in the sea near Okinawa with a high radree of transparency, so we try to develop the inexpensive measurement for underwater robot using a monocular camera. In this paper, we illustrate the measurement method and the basic experiment on land and underwater.
