This work proposes strategies and solutions to tackle the problem of building photo-mosaics of very large underwater optical surveys, presenting contributions to the image preprocessing, enhancing and blending steps, and resulting in an improved visual quality of the final photo-mosaic.

This book presents an accurate, efficient pipeline for single camera-based 3D mapping of terrestrial and underwater environments. The authors offer a novel Structure from Motion algorithm that boosts accuracy by registering camera views directly with the maps.

This book addresses the most challenging steps in creating large-area image mosaics: global alignment and fast estimation of topology. Thus it advances the state of the art in underwater surveys using low-cost vehicles equipped with very limited sensor arrays.
