Abstract

Visual survey of seafloor can be used to identify areas of interest, create comparison, and with time-related data, detect changes in the environment to help understand and aid in development of economic marine ecosystem. We have successfully carried out visual surveys using monocular cameras on a low-cost autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and created image analysis methods for this purpose which will be presented in this paper.
