AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies for autonomous tracking of subsea pipelines suffer from discontinuous and uncertain detection results, and are prone to oscillations during the control process, lacking forward-looking prediction, resulting in insufficient tracking reliability under complex sea conditions.
An autonomous underwater robot based on side-scan sonar is used to track subsea pipelines. A Kalman filter is used for state estimation, and combined with trajectory quality assessment and adaptive line-of-sight guidance law, the forward-looking distance and heading are dynamically adjusted to generate a smooth target tracking trajectory.
It improves the accuracy and stability of submarine pipeline tracking, suppresses the effects of environmental interference and noise, and ensures stable tracking under complex sea conditions.
