Recent advancements in monocular visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) have been applied to underwater bionic robotic fish. This approach integrates image enhancement techniques with deep feature matching to improve the robustness of navigation and mapping in aquatic environments. The significance of this development lies in its potential to enhance the operational capabilities of underwater robotic systems. By leveraging advanced image processing and machine learning techniques, the integration aims to address challenges faced in underwater navigation, such as low visibility and dynamic environments. Looking ahead, further research and testing will be crucial to refine these techniques and ensure their effectiveness in real-world underwater applications.
