A Method for the Interpretation of Sonar Data Recorded during Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Missions
Image acquisition from autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) is useful for mapping objects on the seabed. However, there are few studies on the interpretation of data collected with side-scan sonar during autonomous underwater vehicle missions.

This paper demonstrates that sonar images correlate badly because target geometry and image fringes correlate in different coordinate systems. It is shown that if the receiver is a line array, all point objects have the same image in a coordinate system with axes of range and the sine of target bearing (the (r, s) coordinate system).

A review on the wavelet methods for sonar image segmentation
The sonar image segmentation is needed such as in underwater object orientation and recognition, in collision prevention and navigation of underwater robots, in underwater investigation and rescue, in seafloor object seeking, in seafloor salvage, and in ...

A Track Initiation Method Based on Multiple Accumulation of Active Sonar Images
To meet the requirements of autonomous detection of underwater moving targets in a strong reverberation background, a track initiation algorithm based on multiple accumulations of active sonar images was proposed to solve the problem of large amounts of ...

A manual scan sonar integrates multiple technologies into a compact and low cost single beam sonar having the ability to generate wide sector views comparable to that of much larger and more expensive multiple-beam sonar units. The manual scan sonar uses a piezoelectric transducer, orientation and motion sensors, a power preamplifier and amplifier, and

Breaking Wave Imaging Using Lidar and Sonar [PDF]
The two-phase flow generated by breaking ocean waves plays a crucial role in various geophysical processes, including dissipation of wave energy and atmospheric gas exchange. This paper presents a technique to measure the two-phase flow generated by breaking waves at prototype scale.

An Adaptive Image-stitching Algorithm for an Underwater Monitoring System
Against the narrow range of sonar images for underwater monitoring, an adaptive sonar image-stitching algorithm is proposed in this paper. Compared with conventional sonar image-stitching algorithms, this algorithm can be applied to stitch sonar images ...
