  • System and method for identification and quantification of sonar targets in a liquid medium
    Publication number: 20050270905
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying and quantifying targets within a liquid medium. A raw sidescan sonar image is collected. A region of interest is separated from the image. An image transformation is performed using an extraction algorithm. Salient image characteristics are calculated. Spurious pixels are removed from the image to obtain an extracted region of interest. Particle analysis is performed on the extracted region of interest to generate a feature vector which is presented to a neural network for classification.
