Underwater vehicles have been widely used in the regular inspection of water-conveyance tunnels. However, for the long-distance water-conveyance tunnels, the high-precision navigation of underwater vehicles is very challenging as there is no satellite navigation signal. In this paper, we propose a tunnel joint extraction method based on deep learning, which can be used for the vision-assisted navigation of underwater vehicles in these tunnels. A light-weight semantic segmentation network for joint extraction is designed with a new architecture which overcomes the class imbalance problem and enables the real-time execution on a moderated GPU. Experimental results demonstrate that our method is effective and can significantly improve the navigation precision in long-distance water-conveyance tunnels.
