Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are a vital element for ocean exploration in various applications; however, energy sustainability still limits long-term operations. An option to overcome this problem is using underwater docking for power and data transfer. To robustly guide an AUV into a docking station, we propose an underwater vision algorithm for short-distance detection. In this paper, w...
