This invention discloses a filtering method, device, storage medium, and
underwater vehicle based on forward-looking
sonar. The filtering method employs the following steps:
sonar physical detection area modeling and
mask mapping; first-level global adaptive benchmark extraction and coarse filtering;
acoustic attenuation sensing and radial block partitioning; second-level non-uniform sensitivity local fine filtering; spatial
smoothing fusion and image reconstruction, outputting a denoised forward-looking
sonar image. By cleverly combining an acoustic radial
distance model with the local statistical features of a single-frame image, and through pure mathematical
cascade matrix operations and adaptive
soft thresholding, a perfect balance between
reverberation suppression and weak target protection is achieved with extremely low computational overhead. It preserves the features of weak targets in the far field, solves the denoising
distortion problem caused by drastic changes in the
dynamic range of sonar images, reduces the temporal and
spatial complexity of the
algorithm, ensures real-time deployment at the edge of the
underwater unmanned platform, and ensures smooth edges and no
geometric distortion in the denoised image, providing high-fidelity input for subsequent target recognition and path planning.
