abstract = {This paper presents a novel approach to water-current compensation for
autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) state estimation and navigation. The
approach is twofold: first, an extended Kalman filter estimates both the AUV
state and water-currents in the north and east directions; second, these
water-current estimates are used in a modified heading controller to calculate
a current-compensated desired heading for the AUV to follow. Both the extended
Kalman filter and modified heading controller are presented and simulated
using historical experimental data for noise estimation. The presented results
are a promising first step towards further testing and real-time
implementation on the AUVs for localization and navigation in ocean
environments.}}
