Description

Acoustic image stitching method of same-platform heterologous sonar
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of image processing, and particularly relates to an image stitching method.
Background
In traditional sonar system, each sonar is mutually independent, also mutually independent between each function, and the performance is limited. In recent years, a method for comprehensively performing target detection or marine topography mapping by carrying a plurality of sonar systems on a small platform such as an underwater robot, an AUV, an underwater towed body and the like is a mainstream trend of current marine detection. The side-scan sonar installed on two sides of the underwater vehicle can obtain a high-resolution submarine ground object image below the platform side, but the position information with necessary precision is often lacking because echo time delay information is not estimated; and the body search sonar installed on the head of the underwater vehicle can acquire the submarine ground object image right below the platform to obtain the high-precision measuring point position information, but the working frequency band is lower, and the imaging effect is not ideal. Therefore, the side scan sonar image and the body search sonar image have strong complementarity in resolution and position information. Therefore, image stitching is carried out on the acoustic images of the side-scan sonar and the body-search sonar which are arranged on the same platform, and a submarine target imaging image with higher resolution and higher position accuracy is obtained.
At present, most of research on sonar image stitching focuses on homologous sonar image stitching methods for processing different acoustic images of the same sonar system, for example: (1) The documents 1"Ahybrid registration approach combining SLAM and elastic matching for automatic side-scan sonar mosaic [ C ]. Oceans,2015:50-60." correct the trajectory of an underwater vehicle by SLAM algorithm (synchronous positioning and mapping algorithm), thus realizing accurate matching between multiple side-scan sonar acoustic images, but being only suitable for homologous side-scan sonar image stitching. At present, the research on heterologous sonar image stitching is relatively few, and a characteristic-based image registration method is mainly adopted, for example: (2) Document 2, "multi-beam and side-scan sonar data fusion and application thereof in seabed substrate classification [ D ]. University of martial arts, 2003." the disclosed method uses the contour features to perform image stitching on multi-beam and side-scan sonar, and depth information estimation is required during side-scan sonar mapping, so that the application range is small; (3) Document 3 "multibeam and side scan sonar image registration and fusion based on SURF algorithm, marine notification, 2016: "detect the characteristic point and thus carry on the image splice to multibeam and side scan sonar with SUFR algorithm (accelerating the robust feature to detect the matching algorithm), rely on the characteristic point to withdraw and carry on the splice of the image, but not suitable for the splice of the side scan sonar with great difference of imaging resolution and body search sonar picture, when the imaging resolution is great, can't withdraw the characteristic point and register correctly, thus make the splice effect of the image very bad.
In view of the different working frequencies of the side-scan sonar and the volume-search sonar, the larger difference in resolution of acoustic images and the different fields of view, feature points are difficult to extract and match, and a feature-based registration stitching method commonly adopted in the field of sonar image stitching is not suitable. Therefore, the image registration method based on the normalized mutual information is introduced into the field of heterogeneous sonar image stitching.
