Revolutionizing Underwater Exploration of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Seabed Image Processing Techniques (2402.00004v1)

Abstract: The oceans in the Earth's in one of the last border lines on the World, with only a fraction of their depths having been explored. Advancements in technology have led to the development of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) that can operate independently and perform complex tasks underwater. These vehicles have revolutionized underwater exploration, allowing us to study and understand our oceans like never before. In addition to AUVs, image processing techniques have also been developed that can help us to better understand the seabed and its features. In this comprehensive survey, we will explore the latest advancements in AUV technology and seabed image processing techniques. We'll discuss how these advancements are changing the way we explore and understand our oceans, and their potential impact on the future of marine science. Join us on this journey to discover the exciting world of underwater exploration and the technologies that are driving it forward.
