Abstract

The paper deals with the application of side scan sonar (SSS) for inspection of underwater lengthy objects (cables and pipelines). The autonomous underwater vehicle using are suggested for this purposes. The problem of acoustic images processing for detection of communication lines on a sea-bottom and underwater robot control task are solved. Real cable recognition results and pipeline tracking modeling experiments are discussed.
