AUV-Based Side-Scan Sonar Real-Time Method for Underwater-Target Detection

The limitations of underwater acoustic communications mean that the side-scan sonar data an autonomous vehicle (AUV) cannot be transmitted back and processed in real time, which means targets detected time. To address problem, this paper proposes vehicle-based real-time detection method for targets. First, describes system operation underwater-target by mounted on vehicle. Next, it a processing data, constructing deep-learning-based model, based navigation strip images, which, together, solve three key technical problems processing, model construction, target Finally, through sea-based experiments, effectiveness proposed methods is evaluated, providing new solution
