Abstract

© 2015 IEEE. SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) for underwater vehicles is a challenging research topic due to the limitations of underwater localization sensors and error accumulation over long-term operations. Furthermore, acoustic sensors for mapping often provide noisy and distorted images or low-resolution ranging, while video images provide highly detailed images but are often limited due to turbidity and lighting. This paper presents a review of the approaches used in state-of-the-art SLAM techniques: Extended Kalman Filter SLAM (EKF-SLAM), FastSLAM, GraphSLAM and its application in underwater environments.
