Scenarios and Responses to Future Deep Oil Spills: Fighting the Next War

Springer, 2019

It has often been said that generals prepare for the next war by re-fighting the last. The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill was unlike any previous – an underwater well blowout 1,500 meters deep. Much has been learned in the wake of DWH and these lessons should in turn be applied to both similar oil spill scenarios...

Mechatronics and Machine Vision in Practice

Springer, 2007

Mechatronics education has been a constant source of interest to nearly all engineering conferences, and the first chapter in this book is dedicated to this most important subject.

The first paper discusses a very original idea from one of the more innovative pioneers of mechatronics education. This looks at the...

Underwater Concreting and Repair

Butterworth-Heinemann, 1994

The construction of a wide range of structures including bridge piers, harbours, sea and river defences over many decades, and more recently the development of offshore oil fields, has required placement of concrete underwater. This process can be successfully carried out and sound, good quality concrete produced if sufficient attention is paid to...

Underwater Robots: Motion and Force Control of Vehicle-Manipulator Systems

Springer, 2006

This book deals with the main control aspects in underwater manipulation tasks. The mathematical model with significant impact on the control strategy is discussed. The problem of controlling a 6-degrees-of-freedoms autonomous underwater vehicle is deeply investigated and a survey of fault detection/tolerant strategies for unmanned underwater...

Adobe Photoshop for Underwater Photographers

Amherst Media, 2006

In a matter of a few short years, the underwater digital camera went from a novelty item to the predominant method for taking underwater pictures. Never before has a technology advanced so rapidly. Thanks to digital, though, underwater photography has evolved into a shootto-edit process. Rather than having to get each image just right...

Underwater Acoustic Modeling: Principles, techniques and applications

Taylor & Francis, 1995

The subject of underwater acoustic modeling deals with the translation of our physical understanding of sound in the sea into mathematical formulas solvable by computers. This book divides the subject of underwater acoustic modeling into three fundamental aspects: the physical principles used to formulate underwater acoustic models; the...

The Underwater Photographer, Third Edition: Digital and Traditional Techniques

Focal Press, 2006

A superb hand-on manual containing a wealth of underwater tips, hints and advice - all beautifully illustrated with brand new, full colour images.

Martin Edge, a leading authority on underwater photography, will help you capture stunning effects using his popular 'think and consider' system - offering a heightened awareness and...

Underwater Robots (Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics)

Springer, 2013

This book, now at the third edition, addresses the main control aspects in underwater manipulation tasks. The mathematical model with significant impact on the control strategy is discussed. The problem of controlling a 6-degrees-of-freedoms autonomous underwater vehicle is deeply investigated and a survey of fault detection/tolerant...

Underwater Photography

Rocky Nook, 2014

Underwater photography is a fascinating pursuit for those who aspire to capture the magical world found within our oceans and bring it to the surface. In this book, award-winning photographer Tobias Friedrich teaches us how to create stunning underwater images, covering everything from the equipment needed, to creating powerful...

Underwater Real-Time 3D Acoustical Imaging: Theory, Algorithm and System Design (Signals and Communication Technology)

Springer, 2019

This book presents the topic of underwater real-time 3-D acoustical imaging covering the theory, algorithms and system design. It summarizes recent advances in wideband and ultra-wideband underwater real-time 3-D acoustical imaging, which will be very useful for developing next-generation systems. Through simulation techniques, readers are able...

Marine Acoustics: Direct and Inverse Problems

SIAM, 2003

‘This book is a very thorough mathematical treatise on direct and inverse problems in marine acoustics. Waveguide inversion problems have not received the attention they deserve in the literature and this book may correct some of this inattention.’ John A. DeSanto, Mathematical Reviews

This book presents current...

Underwater Acoustic Networking Techniques (SpringerBriefs in Electrical and Computer Engineering)

Springer, 2012

This literature study presents an overview of underwater acoustic networking. It provides a background and describes the state of the art of all networking facets that are relevant for underwater applications. This report serves both as an introduction to the subject and as a summary of existing protocols, providing support and inspiration...
