Underwater terrain mapping with a 5-DOF AUV

Paper introduces extensive application of a state-of-art Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV-150) capable of operating up to a depth of 150 meters, without any human intervention. Considering navigational and guidance issues relating AUV-150 as well as the images obtained on an account of underwater terrain mapping done employing the payload sensors as the pioneer space; the paper also includes the plots generated as a result of post-processing algorithms applied on the raw data obtained from the scanning sensors used typically for seabed mapping
