Video imaging in turbid water [PDF]
In order to describe seabed habitats and to identify and quantify spatial patterns information is needed at different scales. Whereas ground-truthing techniques are used to gain point information, remote sensing techniques are used to obtain information ...

On Importance of Acoustic Backscatter Corrections for Texture-based Seafloor Characterization [PDF]
, 2012 Seafloor segmentation and characterization based on local textural properties of acoustic backscatter has been a subject of research since 1980s due to the highly textured appearance of sonar images. The approach consists of subdivision of sonar image in

Using Multibeam Echosounders for Hydrographic Surveying in the Water Column: Estimating Wreck Least Depths [PDF]
, 2015 Wreck superstructure can extend into the water column and pose a danger to navigation if the least depth is not accurately portrayed to mariners. NOAA has several methods available to acquire a wreck least depth: lead line, wire drag, diver investigation,

Small object detection in side-scan sonar images based on SOCA-YOLO and image restoration
Frontiers in Marine ScienceAlthough side-scan sonar can provide wide and high-resolution views of submarine terrain and objects, it suffers from severe interference due to complex environmental noise, variations in sonar configuration (such as frequency, beam pattern, etc.), and ...
