Remote-sensing issues for intelligent underwater systems

For certain applications an autonomous underwater system may benefit from a perception of its environment in terms of magnetics, gravity, chemical signature, or other sensing modalities. An introduction is presented for researchers unfamiliar with issues in underwater remote sensing. Application areas include machine perception for intelligent underwater systems, large-scale seafloor mapping, survey, and environmental characterization.<<ETX>>
