Lambert’s Cosine Law and Sidescan Sonar Modeling
When a planar surface area reflects diffusely, the reflected rays have a distribution of directions as opposed to specular reflection which is in a single direction. Ideal diffuse reflection, aka Lambertian reflection, has equal reflected energy at all angles away from the plane.

Evaluation of a Canonical Image Representation for Sidescan Sonar [PDF]
Acoustic sensors play an important role in autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Sidescan sonar (SSS) detects a wide range and provides photo-realistic images in high resolution. However, SSS projects the 3D seafloor to 2D images, which are distorted by

Neural Network Normal Estimation and Bathymetry Reconstruction From Sidescan Sonar [PDF]
Sidescan sonar intensity encodes information about changes in the surface normal of the seabed. However, other factors such as seabed geometry as well as its material composition also affect the return intensity.

High-Resolution Bathymetric Reconstruction From Sidescan Sonar With Deep Neural Networks [PDF]
We propose a novel data-driven approach for high-resolution bathymetric reconstruction from sidescan. Sidescan sonar (SSS) intensities as a function of range do contain some information about the slope of the seabed.

Small-Sample Sonar Image Classification Based on Deep Learning
Deep learning is a core technology for sonar image classification. However, owing to the cost of sampling, a lack of data for sonar image classification impedes the training and deployment of classifiers. Classic deep learning models such as AlexNet, VGG,

SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE AND DECISION TREE BASED CLASSIFICATION OF SIDE-SCAN SONAR MOSAICS USING TEXTURAL FEATURES [PDF]
The diversity and heterogeneity of coastal, estuarine and stream habitats has led to them becoming a prevalent topic for study. Woody ruins are areas of potential riverbed habitat, particularly for fish.

Intensity normalization of sidescan sonar imagery [PDF]
Sonar imaging is currently the exemplary choice used in underwater imaging. However, since sound signals are absorbed by water, an image acquired by a sonar will have gradient illumination; thus, underwater maps will be difficult to process. In this work, we investigated this phenomenon with the objective to propose methods to normalize the images with
