The objective of MOQESM'14 was to bring together researchers from\nboth academia and industry, interested in marine robotics and hydrography with\napplication to the coastal environment mapping and underwater infrastructures\nsurveys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe common thread of the conference is the combination of technical\ncontrol, perception, and localization, typically used in robotics, with the methods of mapping\nand bathymetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\nThe papers presented in this book focus on two main topics.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirstly, coastal and infrastructure mapping is addressed, focusing not\nonly on hydrographic systems, but also on positioning systems, bathymetry, and remote sensing. The\nproposed methods rely on acoustic sensors such as side scan sonars, multibeam echo sounders,\nphase-measuring bathymetric sonars, as well as optical systems such as underwater laser scanners.\nAccurate underwater positioning is also addressed in the case of the use of a single\nacoustic beacon, and the latest advances in increasing the vertical precision of Global Navigation\nSatellite System (GNSS) are also presented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the above mentioned works are closely related to autonomous\nmarine vehicles. Consequently, the second part of the book describes someworks concerning the methods\nassociated with such type of vehicles. The selected papers focus on autonomous surface or\nunderwater vehicles, detailing new approaches for localization, modeling, control, mapping, obstacle\ndetection and avoidance, surfacing, and software development. Some of these works imply acoustics sensing as\nwell as image processing. Set membership methods are also used in some papers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe applications of the work presented in this book concern in\nparticular oceanography, monitoring of oil and gas infrastructures, and military field.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-05-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319811987\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-32107-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 131\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266448150668,"sku":"9783319811987","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319811987.jpg?v=1770821056","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319811987","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
