An Image Quality Improvement Method in Side-Scan Sonar Based on Deconvolution

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Side-scan sonar (SSS) is an important underwater imaging method that has high resolutions and is convenient to use. However, due to the restriction of conventional pulse compression technology, the side-scan sonar beam sidelobe in the range direction is ...

RV Pelagia Cruise 64PE372, 27 Jun - 11 Jul 2013. Flow dynamics and sedimentation in an active submarine channel: a process-product approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Novel technologies are providing new opportunities to study the structure and dynamics of submarine sediment-gravity flows; these flows are the dominant process for transfer of sediment into the deep ocean, but are very hard to monitor due their ...

Geomorphology and sediment mobility on sand banks: A study of Dogfish Bank, Hecate Strait, Northeast Pacific Ocean

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 49, Issue 13, Page 4485-4505, October 2024.
This study examines an offshore sand bank in four dimensions (spatially and temporally) using repeat bathymetric mapping (lidar and multibeam echosounder data) along with geophysical and grain‐size data. Results demonstrate current‐swept features at the seabed, including dunes and sand ribbons that both migrate northwards between 2008 and 2019. Lateral

Clustering Acoustic Backscatter in the Angular Response Space [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Backscatter mosaicking is a necessary step in the analysis and interpretation of sidescan and multibeam sonar records. However, due to limitations intrinsic to the mosaicking technique, backscatter mosaics are restricted in their capacity to ...

Side‐Scan Sonar as a Tool For Measuring Fish Populations: Current State of the Science and Future Directions

open access: yesFisheries, Volume 49, Issue 10, Page 454-462, October 2024.
Side‐scan sonar (SSS) is a powerful tool that can be used to address many key questions in fisheries science. In principle, SSS uses dual transducers to transmit a narrow‐beam, wide‐angle acoustic signal as the survey vessel transits an area. The intensity of reflected sound is recorded to generate an image mosaic comprised of benthic substrates and ...

Multi-Frequency, Multi-Sonar Mapping of Shallow Habitats—Efficacy and Management Implications in the National Marine Park of Zakynthos, Greece

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
In this work, multibeam echosounder (MBES) and dual frequency sidescan sonar (SSS) data are combined to map the shallow (5⁻100 m) benthic habitats of the National Marine Park of Zakynthos (NMPZ), Greece, a Marine Protected Area (MPA).

The limits of spatial resolution achievable using a 30kHz multibeam sonar: model predictions and field results [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
A Simrad EM300 multibeam sonar was used to attempt to resolve small (-5m high) targets in 450m of water. The targets had previously been surveyed using a deeply towed 59 kHz sidescan sonar.

Habitat mapping effort at the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary – Current status and future needs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
With elevating interest to establish conservation efforts for groundfish stocks and continued scrutiny over the value of marine protected areas along the west coast, the importance of enhancing our knowledge of seabed characteristics through mapping ...
