Technical Field

Background
Sonar detection technology is a key means in the field of ocean mapping. The side-scan sonar transmits sound waves to the seabed and then receives the reflected sound waves in sequence, and a strip for describing the topography and landform of the seabed is drawn by utilizing the principle that different seabed geologies reflect different sound wave intensities. And the underwater acoustic channel has complex and variable characteristics, and the acoustic wave has projection and scattering characteristics, so that the quality of the obtained image is poor.
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are typically equipped with side-scan sonar to produce an image of the sea floor. Sonar signals received after backscatter and reflection from the seafloor are typically enhanced by amplification that varies with time. The basic process of scanline formation is to propagate an acoustic signal through the sea water, with subsequent energy scattering from the seafloor (backscatter signal) and received by the transducer. The energy returned to the transducer is then used to create a scan line and displayed as a line of pixels with gray values.
The number of each pixel, determined by the currently returned intensity, is particularly important in selecting the appropriate feature for target detection.
