Abstract :
A laser-triangulation optical-correlation sensor for estimating the motion of underwater vehicles at low speed in the proximity of the seabed is described. Experimental results, obtained by processing image sequences acquired by the instrument mounted below the Romeo remotely operated vehicle (ROV) in operating conditions, are presented
