AUVs now include a power source and an intelligent control system that allows them to autonomously carry out programmed tasks. Their navigation system is much more challenging than that of land-based applications, due to the lack of connected networks in the marine environment. On the other hand, due to the latest developments in neural networks, particularly deep learning (DL), the visual recognition systems can achieve impressive performance. Computer vision (CV) has especially improved the field of object detection. Although all the developed DL algorithms can be deployed in the cloud, the present cloud computing system is unable to manage and analyze the massive amount of computing power and data. Edge intelligence is expected to replace DL computation in the cloud, providing various distributed, low-latency and reliable intelligent services. This paper proposes an AUV model system designed to overcome latency challenges in the supervision and tracking process by using edge computing in an IoT gateway. The IoT gateway is used to connect the AUV control system to the internet. The proposed model successfully carried out a long-term monitoring mission in a predefined area of shallow water in the Mar Menor (Spain) to track the underwater Pinna nobilis (fan mussel) species. The obtained results clearly justify the proposed system\u2019s design and highlight the cloud and edge architecture performances. They also indicate the need for a hybrid cloud\/edge architecture to ensure a real-time control loop for better latency and accuracy to meet the system\u2019s requirements.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12121981","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,19]],"date-time":"2020-06-19T12:19:55Z","timestamp":1592569195000},"page":"1981","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Autonomous Underwater Monitoring System for Detecting Life on the Seabed by Means of Computer Vision Cloud Services"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3295-0700","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marouane","family":"Salhaoui","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Automation, Electrical Engineering and Electronic Technology, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Cartagena, Plaza del Hospital 1, 30202 Cartagena, Spain"},{"name":"Laboratory of Information and Communication Technologies (LabTIC), National School of Applied Sciences, Abdelmalek Essaadi University, ENSA of Tangier, Route Ziaten, BP 1818, Tangier, Morocco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8320-1734","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J.
