A Small-Sized Low-Cost and High-Resolution Two-Dimensional Side-Scan Sonar Imaging Method Using Sparse Transmitting-Receiving Arrays

open access: yes水下无人系统学报
To overcome the problems of excessively large array aperture and high element cost when improving angular resolution in existing two-dimensional side-scan sonar imaging methods, this paper proposed a small-size, low-cost, and high-resolution two ...

Sonar-Based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Using the Semi-Direct Method

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
The SLAM problem is a common challenge faced by ROVs working underwater, with the key issue being the accurate estimation of pose. In this work, we make full use of the positional information of point clouds and the surrounding pixel data.

Holographic sonar imaging via soft meta-structures

open access: yes
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are used for underwater ranging, exploration, and communication. However, the limited space in AUVs restricts the number of array elements and imaging capability of sonar systems.

High-Resolution Sonars: What Resolution Do We Need for Target Recognition?

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2010
Target recognition in sonar imagery has long been an active research area in the maritime domain, especially in the mine-counter measure context. Recently it has received even more attention as new sensors with increased resolution have been developed ...

Adaptive Beamforming for Active Sonar Imaging.

open access: yes, 2012
As of today, sonar imaging is the most effective means of documenting the subsea environment. Existing sonar imaging systems generally rely on conventional beamforming methods to form the image. While conventional beamformers are robust and simple, they leave many of the challenges of sonar imaging unresolved.

Side looking sonar image quality assessment using reference targets

open access: yes, 2018
Side-looking sonar systems, including side-scan sonar and synthetic aperture sonar, are widely used for seabed characterization. They also have applications in the detection and classification of objects on the seabed.
