Overview
In this paper, underwater scene modeling from multisensor data is
addressed. Acoustic and optical devices aboard an underwater vehicle
are used to sense the environment in order to produce an output that
is readily understandable even by an inexperienced operator. The main
idea is to integrate multiple-sensor data by geometrically registering
such data to a model. The geometrical structure of this model is
a-priori known but not ad hoc designed for this purpose. As a result,
the vehicle pose is derived, and model objects can be superimposed
upon actual images, thus generating an augmented-reality
representation.
