Sensory information from an Earth-fixed reference is necessary to guarantee a high localization accuracy of an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV). However, the implementation of these sensors in an underwater environment is challenging because of signal uncertainties and strong signal attenuation. In…
Previously, we proposed a scheme that determines the position of a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) from the signal strengths of commercial radio-frequency sensors and antennas. This scheme provides accurate position information in a structured environment but is limited to two-dimensional
We propose a scheme that uses the signal strength received from commercial RF sensors to determine the position of a sensor underwater. The scheme can give accurate position information and has fast update rate, but is limited to short sensor range with the signal identification problem. The infrast…
