On Correlating Sonar Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper demonstrates that sonar images correlate badly because target geometry and image fringes correlate in different coordinate systems. It is shown that if the receiver is a line array, all point objects have the same image in a coordinate system with axes of range and the sine of target bearing (the (r, s) coordinate system). Results from an ocean experiment are presented. The ocean experiment shows that after a simple translation, the correlation coefficient between Cartesian images of a radar reflector drop to zero, while the correlation coefficient between images of the same radar reflector in an (r, s) coordinate system hover around 0.9.

Sonar image processing for underwater object detection based on high resolution system
This paper is concerned with the problem of recognition of objects laying on the sea-bed and presented on sonar images. Considering that high resolution sonar system provides acoustic images of high-quality, several researches have been interested in Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) and Sides can sonar images for underwater objects. This work presents recent detection algorithms targeting their m...
متن کاملClutter Removal in Sonar Image Target Tracking Using PHD Filter
In this paper we have presented a new procedure for sonar image target tracking using PHD filter besides K-means algorithm in high density clutter environment. We have presented K-means as data clustering technique in this paper to estimate the location of targets. Sonar images target tracking is a very good sample of high clutter environment. As can be seen, PHD filter because of its special f...
متن کاملAn unsupervised sonar images segmentation approach
Abstract: In this work an unsupervised Sonar (Sound navigation and ranging) images segmentation is proposed. Due to the textural nature of the Sonar images, a band-pass filtering that takes into account the local spatial frequency of these images is proposed. Sonar image is passed through a bank of Gabor filters and the filtered images that possess a significant component of the original image ...
متن کاملSimulation and 3D Reconstruction of Side-looking Sonar Images
Given the limited range and applicability of visual imaging systems in the underwater environment, sonar has been the preferred solution for the observation of the seabed since its inception in the 1950s (Blondel 2002). The images produced by the most commonly used side-looking sonars (side-scan and, more recently, synthetic aperture sonars) contain information on the backscatter strength recor...
متن کاملOn the 3-D Reconstruction of Seabed Using Multiple Sidescan Sonar Images
This paper proposes an original method for the 3-D reconstruction of seabed from multiple sidescan sonar images. The proposed method adopts a stereo-like vision approach based on a combination of the GPS positioning and the image matching technology to correspond among multiple sidescan sonar images taken from different viewmints. and then estract the 3-D structure information of 'seabed from t...
