A Track Initiation Method Based on Multiple Accumulation of Active Sonar Images

open access: yes水下无人系统学报, 2023
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]

open access: yes, 2012
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 ...

Sonar Image Target Detection Based on Simulated Stain-like Noise and Shadow Enhancement in Optical Images under Zero-Shot Learning

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
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

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019
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]

open access: yesJ Forensic Sci
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.

Designing Wire Mazes for Replicating Natural Echoes to Study Bat Biosonar Function

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A validated framework combining efficient physical modeling (multiple scattering model) and deep learning is presented to guide wire‐maze design for bat biosonar studies. This approach rapidly generates large datasets to test acoustic distinguishability among wire arrangements.

Optimizing Strategies for Non‐Invasive Prospection of Settlements in the Intertidal Zone: A Case Study From the Centre of the Drowned Medieval Village of Tolsende (Scheldt Estuary, the Netherlands)

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
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.
