Special Session: Hybrid and Convertible Unmanned Aerial Vehicles—Environments that have structures in multiple domains are a great challenge to performing inspection and monitoring tasks, often requiring several robots to perform in these ambient. Hybrid vehicles can become an alternative to the use of several devices. Especially, industrial marine ecosystems present a drastic change in the environment that can represent a challenge for these hybrid vehicles both in sensing and locomotion. Consequently, the use of infrared and acoustic sensors is discouraged for this particular vehicle type because they operate only in one specific medium. The infrared just works in air and acoustic sensor in the underwater environment, leading to limitations concerning weight for the vehicle’s structural development. Furthermore, the integration of both sensors adds complexity to the implementation of autonomy. This work presents a benchmark to evaluate the performance of visual sensors in both air and water showing its advantage and limitation.
