A Curvelet-Transform-Based Image Fusion Method Incorporating Side-Scan Sonar Image Features
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Current methods of fusing side-scan sonar images fail to tackle the issues of shadow removal, preservation of information from adjacent strip images, and maintenance of image clarity and contrast. To address these deficiencies, a novel curvelet-transform-
