A method for adjusting the proportional gain value of a proportional controller for use in an unmanned underwater vehicle. The invention includes the steps of: recording at an unmanned underwater vehicle a captured image in the direction of travel; applying a first filter to the captured image; calculating a first distance from each pixel in the captured image to a specified target color; finding the selected pixel from the captured image with the minimum distance from the specified target color, normalizing the image coordinates of the selected pixel into normalized image coordinates; passing the normalized image coordinates as an error value to the proportional controller; calculating a rate of error at the proportional controller; updating the proportional gain according at the proportional controller; and applying a control signal at the proportional controller.
