With the naval focus shifting to operations in the littorals, and the need to lower cost of operations, tetherless autonomous vehicles are now being proposed for use in very shallow water minefield reconnaissance. These areas are dominated by a highly energetic environment arising from waves and currents. Motion control in such an environment becomes a difficult task and is the subject of this work. The main objective of the paper is to show that intervention tasks performed by intelligent underwater robots are improved by their ability to gather, learn and use information about their working environment. Using a new generalized approach to the modeling of underwater vehicles, which directly includes disturbance effects, a new disturbance compensation controller (DCC) is proposed. The DCC, employing onboard vehicle sensors, allows the robot to learn and estimate the seaway dynamics. This self-derived knowledge is embedded in a non-linear sliding mode control law which allows significantly improved motion stabilization. The performance of the DCC has been experimentally verified in Monterey Harbor using the NPS Phoenix AUV.","PeriodicalId":68534,"journal":{"name":"中国会展","volume":"43 1","pages":"1017-1028 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80915300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper presents a positioning technique for AUV's that exploits existing bathymetric data in an operation area. Unlike many terrain matching approaches, which do positioning using distinct ocean bottom features, this method generates a position estimate by comparing the in-situ measured depth at the position of the AUV with available bathymetry data in the immediate area. This builds on contemporary AUV INS/VL navigation systems by incorporating a maximum likelihood estimate of position. Particular emphasis is placed on the design of the maximum likelihood estimator module which produces point-wise position estimates and typically contains a large error component with many outliers. This estimate is merged with the output of the AUV's INS/VL system which constrains the INS drift. Further position accuracy and faster convergence to the correct position can be achieved by incorporating a single slant range measurement from the AUV to a fixed location. The slant range is used as external constraint on both the INS and the MLE. The paper describes the implementation of this approach and the results of simulation studies.","PeriodicalId":68534,"journal":{"name":"中国会展","volume":"1 1","pages":"2123-2127 vol.3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79921159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simplicity of deployment is one measure of this ease of operation. A current meter that can be deployed for an extended period of time, that includes power source and logger in a single case, and that is small and lightweight makes deployment and recovery easy. If the current meter can also accommodate ancillary sensors without extra housings the deployment becomes even simpler. Small size is generally compromised by the need for long deployments. In a recent redesign of the Modular Acoustic Velocity Sensor (MAVS), power management has improved battery consumption by a factor of 50. Power switching alone was unable to provide the benefit required. In the new design, the controller (Onset Tattletale 8 microcomputer) is shut down between measurements and the switching regulators are turned off except during the actual analog conditioning and digitization of signals. Multiplexing of acoustic signals reduces circuit board real estate and allows ports for analog and digital signals from some sensors and from conditioning circuits attached to other sensors. This in turn reduces the total size of the measurement suite, easing the handling of the mooring. A deep sea MAVS with temperature sensing array and high resolution pressure sensor has been built for monitoring heat flux in a hydrothermal vent field in a pressure case 95 mm (3.75\") in diameter and 430 mm (17\") long. It samples for 270 days on 35 WH of internal battery, storing a sample every minute. A single sample takes 45 milliwatt-seconds (mJ) of energy for a total measurement energy budget of 5 WH.","PeriodicalId":68534,"journal":{"name":"中国会展","volume":"3 1","pages":"975-980 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86426589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sampling can be conducted at various depths in the sediment and distances from the injection port, thereby allowing determination of the flow field in the shallow sub-seafloor sediments.

The patch test is designed to precisely determine the static configuration of the sonar head (roll, pitch, yaw) and the latency remaining between the reception of the GPS fix and its integration by the acquisition system. An imprecise knowledge of these four values introduces bias when computing the real 3D geographic location of each beam. In the proposed patch test program, these four values are sequentially computed, according to tailored track acquisitions. An extended set of measured information is involved, such as the dynamic attitude, position and heading of the supportship, the geometric offsets of each acquisition unit (MRU, GPS, MBES, compass) and some environmental features (sound velocity profile). The computation mainly relies on performing a matching between specific sea-bottom profiles extracted from each overlapping track. A first rough computation is performed to help the user quickly select the range and step of values to search. Then the user can refine its search as required with successive iterations, during which both the error measures and the error curve for all the previous tested values are displayed. The computation is thus fully automatic, searching the best value within the range. The impact of selecting such at value is immediately shown on the global display of the surveyed area, which provides three representations to enable the user to evaluate the accuracy of the current result: a color-coded real location of the beams, the iso-depth contours extracted from each track, and synthesized depth grids which perform direct comparisons between the track depths.","PeriodicalId":68534,"journal":{"name":"中国会展","volume":"19 1","pages":"1655-1661 vol.3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81297129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The features are derived from the shape and the spectral character of the first echo.

Many engineering applications, such as dredging, the laying of submarine pipelines and cables, the siting of drill and production platforms, and the building of bridges and dams require knowledge of the subsurface. With the development of high-resolution digital seismic systems such as chirp sonars and the IKB SEISTEC/sup TM/ system in the last decade, mapping of the subsurface in shallow water has become cost-effective. This paper describes results from applying these statistical techniques to normal-incidence high-resolution seismic reflection data in which the surface scattering is far less significant, with the hope that these methods will be an adjunct to, and perhaps eventual replacement for, manual expert classification decisions.","PeriodicalId":68534,"journal":{"name":"中国会展","volume":"30 1","pages":"1677-1683 vol.3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83583149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
