The invention belongs to the technical field of marine
geological exploration, and particularly relates to a
seabed sediment classification method and
system based on a side-scan
sonar image, and the method comprises the steps: introducing an acoustic imaging physical
mechanism based on a Lambertian reflection model, carrying out the inversion of acoustic parameters of
seabed sediments, and revealing the cause of
echo intensity from the
physical level; meanwhile, a
superpixel segmentation algorithm is combined, analysis units with consistent structures are formed in space,
noise interference is effectively reduced, and the salt and pepper phenomenon in pixel-level classification is avoided; furthermore, multi-source fusion is performed on image features, reflection features and topographic features, and the precision, the spatial continuity and the physical
interpretability of
seabed sediment classification are remarkably improved by utilizing the complementary
advantage of multi-dimensional information. The method is suitable for
seabed sediment classification in a complex
terrain environment. The invention also provides a non-transitory readable recording medium storing the program of the method and a
system comprising the medium, and the program can be called through a
processing circuit to execute the method.
