Problems solved by technology

At present, autonomous cruise ships mainly rely on lasers to avoid obstacles on the water surface, while underwater vehicles mainly use industrial-grade video transmission to perform path planning and obstacle avoidance on the ground. Therefore, current underwater vehicles lack certain independent judgment capabilities , higher manpower and material costs are also required when performing tasks, and the difficulty of work is significantly increased

Abstract

The invention relates to a novel underwater autonomous obstacle avoidance system and an underwater obstacle avoidance method. The novel underwater autonomous obstacle avoidance system scans the underwater obstacle using a sonar ranging system, combines the attitude information and position information of an underwater vehicle obtained by a strap down navigation system, and an industrial control computer uses the obstacle avoidance algorithm to plan an obstacle avoidance path, so that the system can work in a complicated underwater environment. The underwater obstacle avoidance method superimposes and outputs the attitude information, the position information and the ranging information combining with the image information obtained by an underwater mapping system to realize the environmentmodeling, thereby further reducing the probability of misjudgment of the surrounding environment, improving the accuracy of path planning, and also transferring the valuable underwater 3D environmentmodeling data back to a ground station for further research on the underwater environment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of underwater vehicles, and in particular relates to a novel underwater autonomous obstacle avoidance system and an underwater obstacle avoidance method. Background technique [0002] Since the 1990s, the development of marine engineering and technology has received extensive attention and research. As a low-risk autonomous operation product, unmanned aerial vehicles in water are widely used in various aspects such as military production. At present, unmanned vehicles include surface underwater vehicles, remote-controlled underwater vehicles, and autonomous underwater vehicles. These aircraft can realize the information collection and monitoring tasks on the water and underwater, and can avoid the risks brought by the cruise monitoring tasks in the ocean while having high work efficiency. At present, autonomous cruise ships mainly rely on lasers to avoid obstacles on the water surface, while underwater vehicles main...
