| Abstract | The Seabed AUV is an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) built to serve as a readily available and operationally simple tool for high resolution imaging. It is a hover-capable vehicle that performs optical sensing with a 12 bit 1280/spl times/1024 CCD camera and acoustic high resolution mapping using an MST 300 kHz sidescan and a 675 kHz pencil beam bathymetric sonar. The AUV has been designed for operations from small vessels with minimal support equipment. It has an operational depth of 2000 meters and at 1 m/s can run for up to 10 hours. In this paper we report on the use of Seabed for habitat classification. Over the last two years we have utilized the vehicle in diverse areas off of Puerto Rico and Bermuda for coral reef habitat characterization and off of Cape Cod for scallop abundance measurements. Biological benthic imaging places unique constraints on the control, navigation and imaging requirements for AUVs. In particular, marine biologists require close-up, color imagery for species recognition. Thus we highlight our efforts controls, navigation and imaging in support of such tasks. (i) Control - the ability to perform very tight surveys for photomosaicking areas of interest while simultaneously maintaining bottom following over rugged terrains. (ii) Navigation - the use of single ship based long baseline navigation in combination with dead reckoned ADCP based inertial navigation which allows us to cover large areas without the need to deploy transponder nets. and (iii) Imaging - obtaining high resolution color imagery within the constraints of power associated with working on an AUV. |

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.
