Abstract
An algorithm has been developed for creating one whole raster photo map of the seabed from images obtained from vertically downward cameras of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) using tile graphics. Tile representation of graphical information allows to quickly access the images after lifting the AUV to the surface and reduce the time spent by the operator to analyse the results of the mission. The images were combined using simple geometric transformations based on the data received from the navigation systems of the AUV and the parameters of its camera, so the algorithm can be implemented on the AUV with low-performance onboard computer, as shown in the experiment.
