Due to the complexity of the ocean environment, an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUv) is disturbed by obstacles when performing tasks. Therefore, the research on underwater obstacle detection and avoidance is particularly important. Based on the images collected by a forward-looking sonar on an AUv, this article proposes an obstacle detection and avoidance algorithm. First, a deep learning-based obstacle candidate area detection algorithm is developed. This algorithm uses the You Only Look Once (YOLO) v3 network to determine obstacle candidate areas in a sonar image. Then, in the determined obstacle candidate areas, the obstacle detection algorithm based on the improved threshold segmentation algorithm is used to detect obstacles accurately. Finally, using the obstacle detection results obtained from the sonar images, an obstacle avoidance algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is developed to plan a reasonable obstacle avoidance path of an AUv. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithms improve obstacle detection accuracy and processing speed of sonar images. At the same time, the proposed algorithms ensure AUv navigation safety in a complex obstacle environment.

In present day, many object detection algorithms are available. These computer vision-based object detection algorithms help to detect, locate and trace an object from an image or a video. It requires high speed and accuracy along with efficiency when it is concerned with real-time systems. In machine learning and computer vision, object detection is considered to be an essential research area, also widely implemented in various sectors such as robotic navigation and intelligent video. The traditional approach to object identification consists of the steps as partitioning, clustering, feature extraction and classification. The solution is dependent of manual annotation, which leads to increase in the cost of the algorithm. Due to the diversity of objects, multiple models are needed for feature detection. As a result, classical object detection algorithms have poor generalizability, low detection accuracy, slow operating rate and low robustness. Object detection strategies are widly categorized as one-step and two-step object detection strategies. We are presenting a comparative analysis on object detection algorithms from two categories, i.e. single shot feed forward object detection algorithms and region proposal-based object detection algorithms. Under single shot feed forward, YOLOv7 is being is used along with pretrained weights trained on MS-COCO dataset from scratch. On the contrary, Mask R-CNN is being used to compare with, with its pretrained weights. This study presents a comparative analysis of YOLOv7 and Mask R-CNN in the context of accuracy, memory footprint and processing speed by retraining the models on the dataset of images and videos obtained through real-time systems in constrained.

Approximate computing is an evolving paradigm that aims to improve the power, speed, and area in neural network applications that can tolerate errors up to a specific limit. This letter proposes a new multiplier architecture based on the algorithm that adapts the approximate compressor from the existing and proposed compressors' set to reduce error in the respective partial product columns. Further, the error due to the approximation in the proposed multiplier is corrected using a simple error-correcting module. Results prove that the power and power-delay product (PDP) of an 8-bit multiplier is improved by up to 39.9% and 43.6% compared with the exact multiplier and 27.5% and 23.9% compared to similar previous designs. The proposed multiplier is validated using imageprocessing and neural network applications to prove its efficacy.
