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 ...

The effects of sound propagation and avoidance behaviour on naval sonar levels received by cetaceans [PDF]
The use of active sonar is deemed to be essential for naval operations, but its potential impact on marine life has raised concerns worldwide. In a risk-assessment framework, characterisation of risk of harm is accomplished by combining exposure ...

There are many challenges in using side-scan sonar (SSS) images to detect objects. The challenge of object detection and recognition in sonar data is greater than in optical images due to the sparsity of detectable targets.

On the Information Advantage of Sidescan Sonar Three-Frequency Colour over Greyscale Imagery
A prototype three-frequency (114, 256, and 410 kHz) colour sidescan sonar system, built by Kongsberg Underwater Mapping Ltd. (Great Yarmouth, UK), was previously described, and preliminary results presented, in Tamsett, McIlvenny, and Watts.

Eyes on the water: How local mariners can accurately detect a submerged human proxy in shallow nearshore coastal water with modern recreational fish finders. [PDF]
Abstract It has recently been demonstrated that modern recreational fish finders with high‐frequency (800 kHz) Sidescan transducers can detect submerged human bodies. This ubiquitous technology is widely used on the water and has the potential to be utilized for the rapid detection of submerged decedents in any waterbody.

ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...

A Gray Scale Correction Method for Side-Scan Sonar Images Based on Retinex
When side-scan sonars collect data, sonar energy attenuation, the residual of time varying gain, beam patterns, angular responses, and sonar altitude variations occur, which lead to an uneven gray level in side-scan sonar images.
