An Open-Source Solution for Fast and Accurate Underwater Mapping with a Low-Cost Mechanical Scanning Sonar
Tim Hansen,Andreas Birk,Tim Hansen,Andreas Birk
An open-source software framework is presented that allows real-time underwater mapping with popular marine robotics components, namely a BlueRobotics BlueROV2 with its standard Ping360 Mechanical Scanning Sonar (MSS) and a A50 Doppler Velocity Log (DVL), which are low-cost devices for their respective types - if not even the most affordable ones on the market. The software runs with low computati...
