Abstract

This article presents an online ROS-integrated YOLOv8-based sea urchin detector for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). In order to validate the performance of the system, a realistic simulation environment has been generated using the Stonefish simulator. The simulation setup, including the vehicle and the environment, recreates both the sensors and actuators of the AUV explorer in order to be able to run the detection algorithm under simulation.
