Abstract :
One of the most effective ways for solving the problems of metallic cable inspection is Autonomous Underwater Vehicle /AUV/ using. AUV should have reliable detection system to inspect the cables. Photo and video systems not always allow obtain reliable data for cable recognition. Electromagnetic Searcher /EMS/ was designed in the Institute of Marine Technology Problems (Far East Branch Russian Academy of Sciences) /IMTP FEB RAS/ for these purposes. The device description, data processing and AUV motion on the basis of electromagnetic data are considered in this paper.
