Image Processing Techniques For the Detection and Classification of Man Made Objects in Side-Scan Sonar Images

2011

This is a review chapter that surveys past work in, and the recent status of image processing and other related techniques involved in the detection and classification of man made objects in side scan sonar images. Side scan sonar is a readily, available and cheap device which has found increasing applications, specially for military purposes such as Computer Aided Detection (CAD) and Classification (CAC) of mines. Therefore the main focus of the chapter is on this topic. The list of references is sufficiently complete to include most past and recent publications in the open refereed literature. Although side scan sonar displays many features similar to an optical sensor from a purely image…
