• closedAccess   A benchmarking study on single image dehazing techniques for underwater autonomous vehicles 

      Pérez Soler, Javier; Sanz, Pedro J; Bryson, Mitch; Williams, Sephan B. IEEE (2017-06)
      Enhancing the underwater images is of utmost importance for autonomous underwater vehicles. This kind of robots usually have to deal with highly degraded images from which it is extremely difficult to accurately find, ...
    • closedAccess   Autonomous underwater grasping using multi-view laser reconstruction 

      Peñalver Monfort, Antonio; Fernández Fresneda, José Javier; Sanz, Pedro J IEEE (2017-06)
      Autonomous manipulation in underwater scenarios is a highly complex task which is still poorly studied, but with a growing interest in the last years. Two of the main phases of this problem are the detection and characterization ...
