Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are widely used for hydrological monitoring, underwater exploration, and geological surveys. However, AUVs face limitations in underwater navigation due to the high costs associated with Strapdown Inertial Navigation System (SINS) and Doppler Velocity Log (DVL), hindering the development of low-cost vehicles. Micro Electro Mechanical System Inertial Measurement Units (MEMS IMUs) are widely...

In the field of underwater perception and detection, side-scan sonar (SSS) plays an indispensable role. However, the imaging mechanism of SSS results in slow information acquisition and high complexity, significantly hindering the advancement of downstream data-driven applications. To address this challenge, we designed an SSS image generator based on diffusion models. We developed a data collection system based on Autonomous...

Multibeam echo sounders (MBESs) enable extensive underwater environment exploration. However, due to weak correlation between adjacent multibeam sonar data and difficulties in inter-frame feature matching, the resulting underwater mapping accuracy frequently falls short of the desired level. To address this issue, this study presents the development of a multibeam data processing system, which includes functionalities for sona...
