A Mosaic Method for Side-Scan Sonar Strip Images Based on Curvelet Transform and Resolution Constraints [PDF]
Sensors, 2021 Due to the complex marine environment, side-scan sonar signals are unstable, resulting in random non-rigid distortion in side-scan sonar strip images. To reduce the influence of resolution difference of common areas on strip image mosaicking, we proposed

Simulation of side-scan sonar [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1986 Acoustic remote sensing is becoming widespread in oceanographic measurement programs. Acoustic systems for such measurements include seafloor subbottom profilers, inverted echo sounders, tomography systems, and side-scan sonars. Numerical simulation of such systems can provide valuable information for system design and for analysis of data from an ...
