High-Resolution Underwater Mapping Using Side-Scan Sonar.
The goal of this study is to generate high-resolution sea floor maps using a Side-Scan Sonar(SSS). This is achieved by explicitly taking into account the SSS operation as follows. First, the raw sensor data is corrected by means of a physics-based SSS model. Second, the data is projected to the sea-floor. The errors involved in this projection are thoroughfully analysed. Third, a probabilistic ...
متن کاملConcurrent Mapping & Localisation Using Side-scan Sonar for Autonomous Navigation
Concurrent Mapping and Localisation (CML) is a proven and well-developed tool for navigating in unknown environments. It can be used as a substitute to common absolute sensors, such as GPS or acoustic baseline systems. The Ocean Systems Laboratory (OSL) recently developed a CML system that builds a map of the environment using observations of landmarks extracted from side-scan sonar (SS). This ...
متن کاملUnderwater Scan Matching using a Mechanical Scanned Imaging Sonar ⋆
Underwater environments are extremely challenging to perform localization. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) are usually endowed with acoustic devices such as a Mechanically Scanned Imaging Sonar (MSIS). This sensor scans the environment by emitting ultrasonic pulses and it provides echo intensity profiles of the scanned area. Our goal is to provide self-localization capabilities to an AUV e...
متن کاملTarget Recognition in Synthetic Aperture and High Resolution Side-scan Sonar
The accurate detection and identification of underwater targets continues as a major issue, despite, or perhaps as a result of, the promise of higher resolution underwater imaging systems, including synthetic aperture sonar, high frequency sidescan and high resolution cameras. Numerous techniques have been proposed for Computer Aided Detection to detect all possible mine-like objects, and Compu...
متن کاملAutomatic Rectification of Side-scan Sonar Images
The authors present a novel procedure for the automated rectification of side-scan sonar images. The traditional assumption of a flat seabed for the computation of the ground projection from the slant-range sonar data can later result in difficult geo-referencing and registration problems. Accurate rectification using actual seabed topography is required for precise integration of side-scan ima...
