Localization of subsea cables is a demanding and challenging task. Among the few methods reported in the literature, magnetic field detection is the most promising one, as the cable does not require to be seen visually. Magnetic noise and a quick attenuation of the magnetic field propagating in sea water often make available methods unreliable. The authors propose a novel method of using particle filters for estimating the position of a subsea cable in a highly uncertain environment. The method was tested on data collected from a buried cable in the Baltic Sea, Denmark and shown to have a close approximation to the true location of the subsea cable. The method can be used to localize a subsea cable in an offshore noisy and uncertain environment and provides an inexpensive alternative to the use of a diver or a remotely operated platform.
