چکیده
Swath bathymetry system surveys with wide swath, high location resolution, and is used to detect sea bottom terrain. But the object resolution detected decreases as the depth increasing, its data processing with high mistake, used rarely in sea floor object survey.So GeoSwath, a multibeam sonar does. Although it covers an angular range of -120°to 120 °from the vertical direction, providing high density and high quality bathymetry data along with side scan like amplitude imagery, the data processing is more relied on human intervention to get accurate depth contour and sonar image which prevent its propular use in survey of seafloor targets. The purpose of this article presents survey parameter setting during survey and data processing technique to survey seafloor target by GeoSwath system, which set the proper detect parameters including ping length, ship velocity to increase the points over targets, setting navigation line parallel to the maximum dimension of target during survey, adopting appropriate filter to depth data processing and using TVG control over amplitude data to get accurate depth grid and sonar image of seafloor target. Finally, the way is used to measure the artificial object in harbor and two ship wrecks at sea, compound with the sonar image taken by the forward looking sonar, to search the ship wreck near harbor, to help to recognize the targets and locates its real position. This technology improves GeoSwath survey capability with compound detection and is helpful for make precise map for waterway. Also this work is helpful to achieve detecting seafloor objects fast, accurately, effectively in underwater large scale area during salvation and rescue task.

Remote estimation of surficial seafloor properties through the application Angular Range Analysis to multibeam sonar data
The variation of the backscatter strength with the angle of incidence is an intrinsic property of the seafloor, which can be used in methods for acoustic seafloor characterization. Although multibeam sonars acquire backscatter over a wide range of incidence angles, the angular information is normally neglected during standard backscatter processing and mosaicking. An approach called Angular Ran...

A geoacoustic inversion technique for high-frequency (12 kHz) multibeam sonar data is presented as a means to classify the seafloor sediment in shallow water (40–300 m). The inversion makes use of backscattered data at a variety of grazing angles to estimate mean grain size. The need for sediment type and the large amounts of multibeam data being collected with the Naval Oceanographic Office’s ...

Acoustic backscatter mosaics derived from multibeam and sidescan sonars are often used to estimate seafloor type and composition, which are important parameters in the description of benthic habitats. However, due to limitations of the mosaicking technique, backscatter mosaics are restricted in their capacity to unambiguously discriminate seafloor properties. A more adequate technique to charac...

Invariant Parameter Estimation across Varying Seabeds in Synthetic Aperture Sonar Imagery
Side-look synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) can produce very high quality images of the seabed. The imagery generated by SAS sensors display the seafloor and associated textures, such as sand ripples or seagrass. The characterization of SAS imagery is important for applications such as the detection and classification of targets, seabed segmentation and classification, and others. In this paper, w...
