DOCTORAL THESIS: 3D Underwater SLAM Using Sonar and Laser Sensors

By Albert Palomer Vila Supervised by Dr. Pere Ridao, Dr. Josep Forest i Dr. David Ribas   Abstract The 3D perception and mapping problem are very closely related with the robot localization and has not been yet solved up to a degree that allow AUVs to interact with complex environments safely. By providing AUVs with better 3D perception and improving their localization the usage of AUVs in tasks such as…

DOCTORAL THESIS: Motion Annotation in complex video datasets

By Mahmood Muhammad Habib Supervised by Dr. Arnau Oliver Malagelada   Abstract An in-depth analysis of computer vision methodologies is greatly dependent on the benchmarks they are tested upon. Any dataset is as good as the diversity of the true nature of the problem enclosed in it. Motion segmentation is a preprocessing step in computer vision whose publicly available datasets have certain limitations. Some databases are not up-to-date with modern…

DOCTORAL THESIS: Online Acoustic Localization Methods for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

By Guillem Vallicrosa Massaguer Supervised by Dr. Pere Ridao   Abstract Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) true autonomy capabilities in complex poten-tially unknown environments, have not yet been fully achieved because of the lack of online algorithms that can solve fundamental problems such as localization, mapping and path-planning on-board the AUV and consequently react according to their outputs. These algorithms can empower them for new capabilities such as long-term deployments, au-tonomous…
