Model-based approach to the detection and classification of mines in sidescan sonar.
This paper presents a model-based approach to mine detection and classification by use of sidescan sonar. Advances in autonomous underwater vehicle technology have increased the interest in automatic target recognition systems in an effort to automate a process that is currently carried out by a human operator. Current automated systems generally require training and thus produce poor results w...
متن کاملAn Automatic Approach to the Detection and Extraction of Mine Features in Sidescan Sonar
Mine detection and classification using high-resolution sidescan sonar is a critical technology for mine counter measures (MCM). As opposed to the majority of techniques which require large training data sets, this paper presents unsupervised models for both the detection and the shadow extraction phases of an automated classification system. The detection phase is carried out using an unsuperv...
متن کاملBayesian Inference and Sidescan Restoration
We consider a Bayesian approach to the problem of inferring parameters of the SONAR environment given only the gathered sidescan image. A simpliied model of the process is developed along with suitable prior distributions on the parameters, and a sampling technique is utilised to estimate the parameters most likely given the data. As an example, we apply this technique to estimation of a step-g...
متن کاملAutomatic Target Recognition for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (auv) Sidescan Sonar in Complex Environments
In this paper the automated detection and classification of mine-like objects in sidescan (Marine Sonics) data is investigated. In particular, 4 different sites are considered involving sidescan sonar data collected by Australian, New Zealand, and NATO Undersea Research Centre (NURC) REMUS AUVs. Twelve different automated detection methods are proposed and their individual and fused performance...
متن کاملA Model Based Approach to Mine Detection and Classification in Sidescan Sonar
Developments in Autonomous Underwater Vehicle(AUV) technology has shifted the direction of MineCounter-measure(MCM) research towards more automated techniques. This paper presents an automated approach to the detection and classification of mine-like objects using Sidescan Sonar images. Mine-like objects(MLO) are first detected using a Markov Random Field(MRF) model. The highlight and shadow re...
