  • Publication number: 20200379104
    Abstract: Machine learning algorithms can interpret three-dimensional sonar data to provide more precise and accurate determination of seafloor depths and in-water target detection and classification. The models apply architectures for interpreting volumetric data to three-dimensional forward-looking sonar data. A baseline set of training data is generated using traditional image and signal processing techniques, and used to train and evaluate a machine learning model, which is further improved by additional inputs to improve both seafloor and in-water target detection.

  • Publication number: 20070159922
    Abstract: A 3-dimensional sonar system having a fixed frame of reference including a transmitter and receiver array. The system may include a single ping processor for processing received echoes from a single transmission including methods to match filter sonar sensor data, to optionally compensate for self Doppler, beamform sonar sensor data, to extract bottom targets from beamformed data and to extract in-water targets from the beamformed data. The system may also include a multi ping processor to operate on the outputs of multiple pings from the single ping processor including methods to detect tracks from in-water targets.
