Abstract

This paper addresses acoustic camera DIDSON based object recognition method for AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles). The acoustic camera´s characteristics and display method based on various experiments and the acoustic camera model and efficient and reliable image recognition method for AUVs are proposed. As examples, the cubic and cylindrical objects modeled to simulate the image and their recognition test was carried out in experimental tank
