Underwater distance ranging implemented through a stereo vision system

Vision systems are becoming popular as a method of gathering information and stimuli from a robot's environment. The goal of this paper is to implement an underwater distance ranging system using a stereo vision system. Target tracking is based on the color of the targets. The ranging algorithm...
