Results of the International Conference on Underwater Environment, MOQESM’14. which took place at "Le Quartz" conference center in Brest, France, on 14 and 15 October 2014 Interesting for marine robotics and hydrography with applications to coastal environmental mapping and underwater infrastructure surveys Combines technical control, perception and localization, typically used in robotics, with the methods of mapping and bathymetry Springer This volume constitutes the results of the International Conference on Underwater 1st ed. 2016, XVII, 131 p. Environment, MOQESM’14, held at “Le Quartz” Conference Center in Brest, France, on October 1st 87 illus., 69 illus. in color. 14-15,2014, within the framework of the 9th Sea Tech Week, International Marine Science and edition TechnologyEvent. The objective of MOQESM'14 was to bring together researchers from both academia and industry, interested in marine robotics and hydrography with application to the coastal environment mapping and underwater infrastructures surveys. The common thread of Printed book the conference is the combination of technical control, perception, andlocalization, typically Hardcover used in robotics, with the methods of mapping and bathymetry. The papers presented in this book focus on two main topics. Firstly, coastal and infrastructure mapping is addressed, Printed book focusing not only on hydrographic systems,but also on positioning systems, bathymetry, and Hardcover remote sensing. The proposed methods rely onacoustic sensors such as side scan sonars, ISBN 978-3-319-32105-9 multibeam echo sounders, phase-measuring bathymetricsonars, as well as optical systems £ 109,99 | CHF 141,50 | 119,99 € | such as underwater laser scanners. Accurate underwaterpositioning is also addressed in the 131,99 € (A) | 128,39 € (D) case of the use of a single acoustic beacon, and the latestadvances in increasing the vertical Available precision of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) are alsopresented. Most of the above Discount group mentioned works are closely related to autonomous marine vehicles.
