Vision Based Station-Keeping for the Unmanned Underwater Vehicle

Station-Keeping is an important capability of the Unmanned Underwater Vehicle in a variety of mission , including inspection and repair of undersea pipeline , and surveillance . Station-Keeping control includes two parts : motion estimation and Station-Keeping control system . In this thesis we propose a monocular vision system for determining the motion of an Unmanned Underwater Vehicle . The vehicle is equipped with a down-looking camera , which provides images of the sea-floor . The motion of vehicle is estimated with a feature-based mosaicking method which requires the extraction and the matching of relevant features . We designed a visual servo control system for maintaining the position of vehicle relative to a visual landmark , while maintaining a fixed depth .
