Joint underwater mapping with acoustic and optical Iimages

This thesis is developed within the context of the IURBI project [1], which seeks to develop an intelligent AUV capable of real-time seafloor analysis and adaptive mission planning (Figure 1.1). A fundamental prerequisite for such autonomous capabilities is the ability to robustly align and fuse sen...
