The technique combines radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for sediment tracking with 3-D scanning for volume measurement. The technique is applied to real marine sediments collected from the beach under study. In the preliminary phase, the sediments are scanned using a low-cost 3-D scanning system and then fitted with an embedded RFID transponder, which allows their unambiguous identification. The pebbles are then deployed on the beach and, after a predefined period of time, they are located and retrieved by means of an ad-hoc RFID reader used as a detector. After retrieval, the pebbles are 3-D scanned to collect data on the volumetric changes that result from the abrasion and chipping processes caused by intergranular friction on their surfaces from water movements (mostly sea waves). The technique allows for an accurate estimation of morphological variations of sediments, thereby providing essential insights into sediment stability and, on a broader scale, coastal erosive processes. Moreover, it allows the study of the evolution of a number of textural parameters, such as sphericity or angularity, which can be extracted from the 3-D model.","PeriodicalId":13191,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering","volume":"50 2","pages":"608-621"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143852370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It offers significant advantages in terms of error performance compared to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing in time-varying channels. In this article, we apply OTFS modulation to mobile underwater acoustic (UWA) communication. We propose an adaptive turbo equalization technique with a 2-D decision feedback equalizer to address the issue of 2-D interference. To mitigate the performance degradation caused by phase flipping and circular convolution in the delay-Doppler domain, we further propose a 2-D DA-TEQ based on interference reconstruction. An adaptive channel estimation based on the improved proportionate normalized least mean squares algorithm is proposed to reconstruct the interference. To validate the proposed OTFS UWA communication schemes, a lake experiment was conducted in Danjiangkou Lake, Henan, China, in July 2022. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves satisfactory performance at a speed of 4.5 knots, with a data rate of 5.79 kbps. This experiment confirms the effectiveness of OTFS modulation for mobile UWA communication.","PeriodicalId":13191,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering","volume":"50 2","pages":"1469-1482"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143852453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

FCL combines classical line-of-sight (LOS) guidance with finite-time stability theory to ensure that the position of the USV converges to the reference path within a predetermined finite time. Specifically, a USV model is developed to analyze target tracking. Moreover, a novel cross-tracking error function is designed with hyperbolic characteristics for FCL through an analysis of the relationship between convergence speed and cross-tracking error function. Further, the path-following system stability with FCL and finite-time controllers is analyzed to indicate the smaller value of the upper bound of the system convergence time by comparisons. Finally, simulations and experiments are performed to verify that FCL has a faster convergence speed than the LOS with error sign function (LS) and the linear cross-tracking error function (LLCF), and a wider algorithm parameter tuning range compared to LS.","PeriodicalId":13191,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering","volume":"50 2","pages":"1153-1164"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143852466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The algorithms fuse a priori bathymetry information with depth and range measurements to localize an AUV underwater using four different Bayes filters [extended Kalman filter, unscented Kalman filter, particle filter, and marginalized PF (MPF)]. We develop the algorithms using the robot operating system (ROS), build a realistic simulation platform using ROS Gazebo incorporating real-world bathymetry, and evaluate the performance of these four Bayesian bathymetry-based AUV localization approaches on real-world lake data. The simulation allows the evaluation of algorithms with accurate knowledge of the robot's true location, which is otherwise infeasible to obtain underwater in the field. By relying on the data from a depth sensor and echo sounder, the localization algorithms overcome challenges faced by visual landmark-based localization. Our results show the efficacy of each algorithm under a variety of conditions, with the MPF being the most accurate in general.","PeriodicalId":13191,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering","volume":"50 2","pages":"985-1000"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143848852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regardless of being a disruptive technology, they will likely be subject to the same factors shaping their safety performance as manned ships nowadays are. Yet, the impact of these factors may be different in each case. The current study presents an application of Fuzzy Grey Cognitive Maps (FGCMs) to the comparative evaluation of factors affecting collision avoidance at sea. To this end, subject matter experts have been elicited, and the data obtained from them have been analyzed, concerning how changes in the intensity of given factors would affect safety performance. The obtained results showed that with the use of FGCM, it was possible to model the relative impact of selected factors both on a specific phase of the maritime collision avoidance process as well as on its entirety. The conducted analysis shows noticeable variability of the influence of some factors, depending on the timing of their activation during the process (time dependence), and using FGCM, it was possible to assess its quantification. Furthermore, the results indicate that greater differences can be found between the factors’ impact on phases of an encounter than between manned and autonomous ships. The outcome of this study may be found interesting for all parties involved in maritime safety modeling as well as working on the forthcoming introduction of autonomous ships.","PeriodicalId":13191,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering","volume":"50 2","pages":"1210-1230"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10937359","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143852429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
