Simulation of Rippled-Sand Synthetic Aperture Sonar Imagery
SF JOHNSON,

Abstract:Simulation of Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) imagery is of growing interest for training of both human operators and the 'supervised learning' of computer-aided detection / computer-aided classification (CADCAC) systems. Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) imagery is often characterized by a decidedly non-Rayleigh amplitude distribution, owing to its inherent high-resolution combined with speckle, induced by the coherent image formation process. Effective simulation of SAS imagery must be both visually and statisti… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
