Sparse Extended Information Filters: Insights into Sparsification
(IEEE, 2005-08-02)
Recently, there have been a number of variant
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms that
have made substantial progress towards large-area scalability
by parameterizing the SLAM posterior within the ...
Image Registration Underwater for Fluid Flow Measurements and Mosaicking
(IEEE, 2000-09-11)
In this paper we present a uni$ed framework
of increasing complexity that handles image registration
ranging from translation only motion between images, to a
full eight parameter projective transformation. Our formulation
deals ...
Loading of the Hull Girder
(University of Michigan, 1971-12-01)
Current progress in ship structure analysis is extremely rapid. Until the middle of the 1950's, all computations of external longitudinal stresses in ships were done using the quasistatic method which is discussed in section ...
Toward AUV Survey Design for Optimal Coverage and Localization Using the Cramer Rao Lower Bound
(IEEE, 2009-10-26)
This paper discusses an approach to using the Cramer Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) as a trajectory design tool for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) visual navigation. We begin with a discussion of Fisher Information as a measure ...
Measures of Merit for Ship Design
(University of Michigan, 1977-07-01)
My purpose in writing this paper is to explain the role of engineering economy in ship design and to discuss the relative virtues and shortcomings of the several measures of merit in current use. In particular, I want to ...
Notes on the Design and Operation of Automated Ships
(University of Michigan, 1969-04-01)
In this paper I have tried to show how a ship designer may approach the problem of finding the most economical number of men to operate a proposed commercial ship. Although we are still ignorant of many cost factors, we ...
Catenary Mooring Lines with Nonlinear Drag and Touchdown
(University of Michigan, 1997-01-01)
Analytical expressions modeling the tension distribution and geometric deformation along catenary mooring line, including touchdown effect and nonlinear drag, are developed . The motions of a catenary mooring line in the ...
Probabilistic Torsional Vibration Analysis of a Marine Diesel Engine Shafting System: The Level Crossing Problem
(ASME, 1989-12)
A probabilistic approach to the torsional vibration problem of a marine diesel engine shafting system has been developed. In this analysis, the shafting shear stress is found to be a Gaussian, harmonizable cyclostationary ...
Stability Criteria for the Slow Motion Nonlinear Dynamics of Towing and Mooring Systems
(University of Michigan, 1996-11-01)
Analytical expressions for the necessary and sufficient conditions for stability of towing and mooring systems with several lines are derived based on the Routh stability criteria. These expressions are combined to provide ...
