Abstract
We deal with the control of an autonomous underwater vehicle by means of visual servoing techniques. Both theoretical and implementation issues are addressed. After having briefly presented the visual servoing framework used, we focus on its application to a pipe following task. The last part of the paper presents results obtained both in simulation and on the Vortex underwater vehicle which is an experimental ROV built by the Ifremer company
