An Exploration of the Potential for ‘Opti-Acoustic’ Seabed Classification
نویسنده
چکیده
Seabed classification is the organization of the seafloor and shallow subsurface sediment into classes based on defined characteristics (Collins et al. 1996). Optical and acoustical data processing are two powerful remote sensing techniques for sea floor classification. Our research goal is to explore the potential for the fusion of these two data sets to extend classification capabilities beyond traditional methods.

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) are rapidly being transitioned into operational systems for national defense, offshore exploration, and ocean science. AUVs provide excellent sensor platform control, allowing for e.g. accurate acoustic mapping of seabeds not easily reached by conventional platforms, such as the deep ocean. However, the full potential of the robotic platforms is far from exh...

Texture analysis plays an important role in image processing. Considering the extraordinary appearance texture sonar images, texture analysis are good choices for analysis of acoustic seabed images. Local binary pattern (LBP) operator is a very efficient and multi-resolution texture descriptor. It acquires appropriate information from the illumination and moods of images. Despite many developin...

The seabed can be classified using data from vertical, split-beam echosounders. This was demonstrated recently using amodel parameterized with acoustic estimates of slope, roughness, normal-incidence backscattering strength, and variation of backscattering strength by frequency and incidence angle. These seabed classifications were interpreted and validated using published surficial geology map...
