Abstract :
The architecture of an automatic system, designed for supporting the activities of human operators in underwater pipeline inspection, is described. The main task the system performs concerns the navigation of a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) along the pipeline and the analysis of data for inspection. The operation of the system is based on a two-level world model, whose application allows the system to cope with the uncertainty coming from various sources
