A New Generation Side Scan Sonar
1993While it is now possible, with multibeam echosounders, to obtain true bathymetric images of the sea floor up to ranges of 10 km 1,2, the best way of imaging the underwater relief with high resolution at lower ranges remains the side scan sonar 3. This 30 years old technique is however limited in several aspects that will be discussed later.

Object detection in side scan sonar
SPIE Proceedings, 2015Automatic target detection is a challenging task as the response from an underwater target may vary greatly depending on its configuration, sonar parameters and the environment. We propose a Z- test algorithm for target detection in side scan sonar image which avoids this problem that covers the variation in the target response.

Historical development of side scan sonar
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017The seabed mapping side scan sonar, conceived and developed in the 1950s at the U.S. Navy Mine Defense Laboratory (USNMDL) [Commander and Sternlicht, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 137, 2307 (2015)], was inspired by the Royal Navy ASDIC Type-162, a late-WWII hull mounted side-looking sonar capable of recording the silhouettes of bottomed U-boats. The commissioned

Manatee habitat characterization using side-scan sonar
Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2019AbstractIdentifying benthic substrates is important to researchers studying aquatic organisms in fresh and salt water systems. Benthic substrates are often not visible from the surface making it necessary to find another method to gather these data.

A Level Set Method With Heterogeneity Filter for Side-Scan Sonar Image Segmentation
IEEE Sensors JournalSmall underwater target detection from sonar images remains a challenging task. In this article, a novel level-set-based image segmentation algorithm combined with heterogeneity filter is proposed to segment target from original sonar images.

Geometrical Correction of Side-scan Sonar Images
2018 IEEE International Conference on the Science of Electrical Engineering in Israel (ICSEE), 2018The underwater environment makes object-detection missions difficult. Side-scan Sonar (SSS) has been found to be suitable for seabed scanning missions, however the sonar images acquired from SSS often suffer from considerable noise and geometrical distortion, which changes the understanding of the texture, size, and shape of seabed objects. In order to

Intensity correction of Side-Scan Sonar images
Proceedings of the 2014 IEEE Emerging Technology and Factory Automation (ETFA), 2014This paper presents a new method to remove the effects of uneven ensonification in Side-Scan Sonar (SSS) acoustic images, facilitating their use in underwater robotics. A Lambertian model is used for the sonar scattering process, relating the received echo with the ensonification intensity, the sea bed reflectivity and the incidence angle.
