The measurement of the magnetic field Bc produced by the current in a cable is made immune to the influence of the platform attitude by extracting the component of Bc along the geomagnetic field using a high-bandwidth self-oscillating optically pumped magnetometer. The self-oscillating frequency is proved to be independent of the attitude of the magnetometer with the theoretical model. Experiments are carried out to test the attitude-independent performance, and the effectiveness of route tracking is verified by the results of the sea experiment. The proposed method will effectively improve the ability to locate subsea cables under high sea conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16020226","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,8]],"date-time":"2024-01-08T05:21:38Z","timestamp":1704691298000},"page":"226","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Attitude-Independent Route Tracking for Subsea Power Cables Using a Scalar Magnetometer under High Sea Conditions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7940-9658","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guozhu","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Central China Normal University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5767-8697","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xuxing","family":"Geng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Central China Normal University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0364-355X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shangqing","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"},{"name":"Ocean Technology and Equipment Center, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"},{"name":"Institute of Detection, Early Warning and Information Countermeasure, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}]},{"given":"Yuanpeng","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Central China Normal University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"given":"Guangming","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Central China Normal University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"given":"Gaoxiang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Central China Normal University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"given":"Xueting","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ocean Technology and Equipment Center, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}]},{"given":"Guoqing","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"},{"name":"Ocean Technology and Equipment Center, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"},{"name":"Institute of Detection, Early Warning and Information Countermeasure, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.1016\/j.oceaneng.2019.106272","article-title":"Mechanical behavior of submarine cable under coupled tension, torsion and compressive loads","volume":"189","author":"Chang","year":"2019","journal-title":"Ocean Eng."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"201","DOI":"10.1080\/00908320.2012.698922","article-title":"Submarine Communications Cables and Law of the Sea: Problems in Law and Practice","volume":"43","author":"Davenport","year":"2012","journal-title":"Ocean Dev.
