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…

DOCTORAL THESIS: Underwater Navigation and Mapping with an Omnidirectional Optical Sensor
Underwater Navigation and Mapping with an Omnidirectional Optical Sensor By Josep Bosch Alay Supervised by Dr. Nuno Gràcias / Dr. Pere Ridao Abstract Omnidirectional vision has received increasing interest during the last decade from the computer vision community. A large number of camera models have reached the market to meet the increasing demand for panoramic imagery. However, the use of omnidirectional cameras underwater is still very limited. In this thesis...
