Side-Scan Sonar SLAM Using Ping-Level Landmark Detection in Feature-Poor Seabed Environments
RA-L 2026
Side-scan sonar (SSS) is a particularly attractive sensing modality for underwater simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), offering wide-area seabed coverage and reliable acoustic measurements over long ranges. Many existing SSS-based SLAM approaches rely on image-domain processing, leveraging
