Both the ROV and the objects to be mapped are placed in a pool that is imaged via an overhead camera. In our prototype mapping application, the ROV's pose is found using extended Kalman filtering on measurements from the overhead camera, inertial, and pressure sensors; while objects are detected with a deep neural network in the ROV camera stream. Validation experiments are performed for pose estimation, detection, and mapping. The litter detection dataset and code are made publicly available.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.10901v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.10901v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-bluerov2-based-platform-for-underwater","repo_url":"https://github.com/ReteDavid/IFAC-2024","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
