Multibeam 3D Underwater SLAM with Probabilistic Registration
This paper describes a pose-based underwater 3D Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) using a multibeam echosounder to produce high consistency underwater maps.The proposed algorithm compounds swath profiles of the seafloor with dead reckoning localization to build surface patches (i.e., point clouds).An Iterative Closest Point (ICP) with a
