A vision-based state estimation framework to estimate the state of an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) used for inspection of an underwater structure, for example, a nuclear reactor pressure vessel. The framework employs an external overhead, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera as the primary sensing modality and incorporates prior knowledge of the geometry of the structure.
