| Abstract | In this paper, a vision based autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) navigation system is proposed and its performance is demonstrated by an autonomous underwater cable tracking (AUCT) mission at Lake Biwa using the test bed AUV "Twin-Burger" available at the University of Tokyo. The proposed system for the AUCT consist of three levels of controllers; namely, the higher level controller, the middle level controller and the lower level controller to navigate the AUV. A single CCD camera and an acoustic sensor are used to determine the relative position of the underwater cable with respect to the AUV in 3 dimensional space. Visual data provide two dimensions and acoustic data provide the third dimension. An image filtering technique to reduce some undesirable features which are unique to the underwater images, is used based on the Laplacian of the Gaussian (LoG) operator. A real-time algorithm is developed to determine the position of the cable in the image plane by cascading an estimator governed by AUV dynamics, with the Hough transformation technique. At the Lake Biwa mission, the proposed system performed very well other than in situations where the cable was covered by waterweeds for a long distance. The proposed system can be used as a solution to the problem of underwater positioning especially in pre-determined areas. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
