Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) play a crucial role in underwater exploration. Vision-based methods offer cost-effective solutions for localization and mapping in the absence of conventional sensors like GPS and LiDAR. However, underwater environments present significant challenges for feature
"Compared to the in-air case, underwater depth estimation has its own challenges. For instance, acquiring high-quality training datasets with groundtruth poses difficulties due to sensor limitations in aquatic environments. Additionally, the physics characteristics of underwater imaging diverge sign…
In recent years, learning-based feature detection and matching have outperformed manually-designed methods in in-air cases. However, it is challenging to learn the features in the underwater scenario due to the absence of annotated underwater datasets. This paper proposes a cross-modal knowl-edge di…
We present task-oriented Koopman-based control that utilizes end-to-end reinforcement learning and contrastive encoder to simultaneously learn the Koopman latent embedding, operator, and associated linear controller within an iterative loop. By prioritizing the task cost as the main objective for co…
