MIT–WHOI ‘Sonar-MASt3R’ Fuses Sonar and Vision to Guide ROVs in Murky Waters

Researchers from MIT and WHOI developed Sonar-MASt3R, a system that combines optical camera imagery with acoustic sonar to generate real-time 3D maps in low-visibility underwater conditions. The approach aims to improve navigation and situational awareness for remotely operated vehicles.
