Abstract
In the world of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) the prominent form of sensing is sonar due to cloudy water conditions and dispersion of light. Although underwater conditions are highly suitable for sonar, this does not mean that optical sensors should be completely ignored. There are situations where visibility is high, such as in calm waters, and where light dispersion is not significant, such as in shallow water or near the surface. In addition, even when visibility is low, once a certain proximity to an object exists, visibility can increase. The focus of this paper is this gap in capability for AUVs, with an emphasis on computer-aided detection through classifier optimization via machine learning. This paper describes the development of color-based classification algorithm and its application as a cost-sensitive alternative for navigation on the small Stingray AUV.
