Acoustic-based navigation.

Technology Type Advantages Limitations
USBL [49] Acoustic-based Real-time positioning, relatively low-cost Limited depth range, affected by noise interference
LBL (Long Base Line) [50] Acoustic-based High accuracy, ideal for deep-sea operations Requires fixed transducers, limited mobility
Side-Scan Sonar [51] Acoustic-based High resolution for detecting cables, efficient large-area mapping Limited range, high computational demand
Multi-Beam Sonar [52] Acoustic-based Captures 3D data, high resolution, detects hidden objects High power consumption, requires specialized equipment
Synthetic Aperture Sonar [53] Acoustic-based Higher resolution, ideal for identifying specific objects like cables Computationally expensive, complex data processing
