Sonar scan matching for simultaneous localization and mapping in confined underwater environments

This thesis presents the development of a localization and mapping algorithm for an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). It is based on probabilistic scan matching of raw sonar scans within a pose-based simultaneous localization and mapping(SLAM) framework
