High-resolution 3D optical imaging is important for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) in the applications of target detection and recognition, underwater engineering, automatic navigation, scientific research, and natural resources exploration. Compared with stereo camera and 3D laser scanning imaging, 3D range-gated imaging (3D RGI) has longer detection range and higher spatial resolution at the same time. This paper presents a survey on 3D range-gated imaging methods for underwater detection. Up to now, there are two main methods developed, including time slicing method and gated range intensity correlation method. The literature about 3D RGI has been reviewed in different detection applications for UUV. We also introduce our works in 3D gated range-intensity correlation imaging for fishing net detection and marine life in-situ detection. This paper is beneficial for the 3D RGI technique in underwater detection applications for UUV.
