Remote Awareness of Image Quality for Multiweek Shore-Launched AUV Surveys (I)

ICRA 2026poster

Visual seafloor imaging using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) has become an established method for seafloor mapping and monitoring. With AUVs now achieving multiweek endurance and several hundred kilometers of range on a single charge, image quality assessment (IQA) on-board vehicles in the fi…

Leveraging Metadata in Representation Learning With Georeferenced Seafloor Imagery

RA-L 2021

Camera equipped Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are now routinely used in seafloor surveys. Obtaining effective representations from the images they collect can enable perception-aware robotic exploration such as information-gain-guided path planning and target-driven visual navigation. This l
