The high efficiency of obstacle detection system (ODS) is essential to obtain the high
performance of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) carrying out a mission in a …

The limitations of underwater acoustic communications mean that the side-scan sonar data
of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) cannot be transmitted back and processed in …

To overcome the challenges of limited samples, difficult acquisition, under-representation,
and labeling in utilizing sonar images and deep learning (DL) for target detection …

This paper presents an automatic target recognition (ATR) approach for sonar onboard
unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). In this approach, target features are extracted by a …

Acoustic imaging sonar systems are widely used for long-range underwater surveillance in
various civilian and military applications. They provide 2-D images of underwater objects …

High-resolution imaging and map** of the ocean and its floor has been limited to less than
5% of the global waters due to technological barriers. Whereas sonar is the primary …

DTI has demonstrated that synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) can provide orders of magnitude
improvement in cross-range resolution when compared to conventional sonar beamforming …

To solve the shortage of training samples when using deep learning to detect shipwrecks, a
comprehensive sample augmentation method is proposed. The method fully considers the …

A new generation of airborne bathymetric laser scanners utilises short green laser pulses for
high resolution hydrographic surveying in very shallow waters. The paper investigates its …
