Autonomous underwater imaging: Faster and more accurate

Science Daily  May 26, 2022 Many modern imaging sensors must obtain multiple looks or “views” of a target at different orientations to automatically classify it with high confidence. Therefore, when tasked with classifying many targets, a mobile sensor may need to travel a long distance to change its position and orientation relative to every target, resulting in costly and time-consuming operations. A team of researchers in the US (Cornell University, Naval Surface Warfare Center) has developed a new approach, referred to as informative multiview planning (IMVP) that simultaneously determines the most informative sequence of views and the shortest path between […]
