Abstract
- The Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is capable of autonomously conducting underwater cruising tasks. When combined with docking operations, the AUV can replenish its electric power after long-distance travel, enabling it to achieve long-range autonomous monitoring. This paper proposes a positioning method for the cruising and docking stages of AUVs. Firstly, a vision guidance algorithm based on monocular vision and threshold segmentation is studied to address the issue of regional noise that commonly occurs during underwater docking. A solution for regional noise based on threshold segmentation and proportional circle selection is proposed. Secondly, in order to enhance the positioning accuracy during the cruising stage, a fusion positioning algorithm based on particle filtering is presented, incorporating the Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) and GPS carried by the AUV. In simulation, this algorithm improves positioning accuracy by over 56.0% compared to using individual sensors alone. Finally, experiments for cruising and docking were conducted in Qingjiang, Hubei, China. The effectiveness of both methods is demonstrated, with successful docking achieved in four out of five attempts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
