Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of synthetic aperture sonar signal processing, in particular to a method and system for detecting water body regions on synthetic aperture sonar images. Background technique
[0002] Synthetic Aperture Sonar (Synthetic Aperture Sonar, SAS) is a high-resolution underwater two-dimensional imaging technology. The Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Sonar (InSAS) is an extension of SAS. It uses two receiving arrays to perform SAS imaging on the target scene, and uses the phase difference between the two images to obtain elevation information. The phase of the SAS image is important information for InSAS processing.
[0003] Affected by geometric relationships and underwater topography, there are shadows, overlapping and water body areas in SAS images. The echo signals in these areas are weak or the echoes in different areas overlap with each other, which destroys the phase of the SAS image and reduces the quality of the ...
