The increasing interest for autonomous ships has motivated research in numerous areas. One such area is the safe navigation through ice infested waters, for which a sensor instrumentation and automated process are proposed for near-field, sea-ice 3D scanning and mapping using a ship mounted LiDAR, with attitude compensation from inertial and satellite positioning sensors. Data were collected both ...
