Estimation of Noise Parameters on Sonar Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use the Markov Random Field (MRF) model in order to segment sonar images, i.e. to localize the sea bottom areas and the projected shadow areas corresponding to objects lying on seaaoor. This model requires on one hand knowledges about the statistical distributions relative to the diierent zones and on the other hand the estimation of the law parameters. The Kolmogorov criterion or the 2 criterion allow to estimate the distribution laws. The Estimation Maximization (EM) algorithm or the Stochastic Estimation Maximization (SEM) algorithm are used to determine the maximum likelihood estimate of the law parameters. Those algorithms are initialized with the Kmean algorithm. Results are showing on real sonar pictures.

This work deals with unsupervised sonar image segmentation. We present a new estimation and segmentation procedure on images provided by a high-resolution sonar. The sonar image is segmented into two kinds of regions: shadow (corresponding to a lack of acoustic reverberation behind each object lying on the seabed) and reverberation (due to the re#ection of acoustic wave on the seabed and on the...
