Abstract

Nowadays, underwater docking application plays an important role in sea development. This paper studies visual-servo type docking system for underwater vehicle through real-time pose (position and orientation) tracking with stereo vision. Real-time estimation of vehicle's relative pose to 3D marker whose shape and color is predetermined and known is executed by 3D model-based matching utilizing Genetic Algorithms (GA). In this paper, unidirectional docking station is designed and effective docking strategy is proposed for recharging application of batteries. P controller is applied for visual servoing. Docking experiments were conducted in the sea at Wakayama prefecture, Japan. According to the experimental results, it can be confirmed that docking performance using proposed system is achieved successfully with millimetre level accuracy in recognition and visual servoing.
