This contribution focuses on the problem, intrinsic to autonomous underwater manipulation, of medium-range target localization for guiding the vehicle toward the target area. Based on the use of the dual-frequency identification sonar (DIDSON) sonar, the goal is to acquire the Earth-referenced Cartesian coordinates of a known target, with the necessary accuracy required for positioning the vehicle, so that the target falls within the manipulator workspace.
