Progress on Environmental Perception Technology of Foreign Unmanned Surface Vehicles
Unmanned surface vehicles(USVs)have high mobility,strong concealment,and extensive operational range,making them highly suitable for performing a wide array of tasks such as reconnaissance,anti-submarine warfare,search and rescue.Environmental perception technology,crucial for the operation of USVs,has attracted considerable attention.This paper conducts a survey on the development status of environmental perception technology for USVs at abroad,and define and analyzed the challenges in USV environmental perception through specific case studies.The current state of research on USV environmental perception technology is analyzed from the perspectives of both unimodal and multimodal perception,considering the sensory equipment utilized by USVs.Finally,the unresolved challenges in USV environmental perception technology are summarized,and its future development is prospected.
