Oceans preservation and protection have become increasingly relevant topics to tackle climate change. To this end, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) provide a useful means to carry out inspection and monitoring operations in full autonomy. A…
The periodical hull inspection represents a necessary task to ensure the maintenance of a vessel since it allows to counteract decay, check for structural damages, and fight the biofouling phenomenon affecting the navigation efficiency. Typically,…
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) performing visual surveys aimed at the preservation of marine environments are equipped with optical sensors for image acquisition. In addition, an altitude sensor is usually installed on-board to control the distance…
Integrating Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) and Satellite 6G can provide a new architecture offering improved performance and reliability for various applications. SD-WAN provides a flexible and efficient system to manage network traffic across multiple…
eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) has been increasingly applied to interpret Deep Neural Networks (DNN) in medical imaging applications, but a general consensus about the best interpretation strategy is missing. This is also due to the…
