Standardized benthic imaging with small, modular ROVs: an open-source framework developed in temperate kelp forests

The paper develops and tests an open-source framework for standardized benthic imaging using modular ROVs in kelp forests, showing effective operation across various habitats and conditions.

Absolute measures of time-difference-of-arrival positioning error in underwater acoustic telemetry setups

The paper presents two methods to calculate absolute positioning error in underwater acoustic telemetry using TDOA, including a Monte Carlo approach and an approximate Jacobian-based solution.
