Adaptive Navigation Scheme for Optimal Deep-Sea Localization Using Multimodal Perception Cues
Arturo Gomez Chavez, Qingwen Xu, Christian A. Mueller +2
Underwater robot interventions require a high level of safety and reliability. A major challenge to address is a robust and accurate acquisition of localization estimates, as it is…
Improved Fourier Mellin Invariant for Robust Rotation Estimation with Omni-cameras
Qingwen Xu, Arturo Gomez Chavez, Heiko Bülow +2
Spectral methods such as the improved Fourier Mellin Invariant (iFMI) transform have proved faster, more robust and accurate than feature based methods on image registration. Howev…
Robust Gesture-Based Communication for Underwater Human-Robot Interaction in the context of Search and Rescue Diver Missions
Arturo Gomez Chavez, Christian A. Mueller, Tobias Doernbach +2
We propose a robust gesture-based communication pipeline for divers to instruct an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) to assist them in performing high-risk tasks and helping in c…
CADDY Underwater Stereo-Vision Dataset for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) in the Context of Diver Activities
Arturo Gomez Chavez, Andrea Ranieri, Davide Chiarella +3
In this article we present a novel underwater dataset collected from several field trials within the EU FP7 project "Cognitive autonomous diving buddy (CADDY)", where an Autonomous…
Robust Continuous System Integration for Critical Deep-Sea Robot Operations Using Knowledge-Enabled Simulation in the Loop
Christian A. Mueller, Tobias Doernbach, Arturo Gomez Chavez +2
Deep-sea robot operations demand a high level of safety, efficiency and reliability. As a consequence, measures within the development stage have to be implemented to extensively e…
