Abstract

Localization under-ice is challenging due to the increased difficulty of accessing Global Positioning System (GPS) or deploying localization infrastructure. In this work, a novel solution that minimizes localization uncertainty and communication overhead of under-ice Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) is proposed. Our solution is compared against existing solutions, which shows improved performance.

Recommendations

Minimizing position uncertainty for under-ice autonomous underwater vehicles

Localization underwater has been known to be challenging due to the limited accessibility of the Global Positioning System (GPS) to obtain absolute positions. This becomes more severe in the under-ice environment since the ocean surface is covered with ...
Autonomous underwater vehicles localisation in mobile underwater networks

Autonomous underwater vehicles AUVs form mobile underwater networks to conduct underwater surveying missions cooperatively. Due to the severe turbulence caused by water currents, individual AUV has to adjust its heading constantly to ensure reaching ...
Mid-water current aided localization for autonomous underwater vehicles

Survey-class autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) typically rely on Doppler Velocity Logs (DVL) for precision localization near the seafloor. In cases where the seafloor depth is greater than the DVL bottom-lock range, localizing between the surface and ...
