They then extend that point to a contour of the entire set of returns from a ping. They then assume that the closest return is directly below the sensor and the bottom is horizontal at that point. They model the dependence of diffuse reflection on the incident angle to produce an estimate of incidence angles. One of the earliest works on depth from SSS is. Methods must make simplifying assumptions about these. They include needing to know properties such as sediment, surface and volume scattering, absorption and dispersion, water currents, variations in sound speed, and the sonar transducer beam pattern. The problems that must be overcome in order to extract 3D information from SSS are summarised by Woock and Frey. The results are promising and indicate that these approaches are worth investigating with more extensive and varied data. We include meaningful evaluations on a limited test set. The main contribution of this article is a systematic study of the feasibility of using data driven methods such as regression and cGAN modelling with CNN to estimate the under constrained dimension in SSS images. The challenge has been in finding invariant features that can be matched accurately from different views. Such a system might have a large impact on surveying from smaller autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) or even swarms that cannot carry a large MBES sonar.
These would give a hard constraints on the sensor poses leading to a unique solution to both the sonar pose and bottom bathymetry. A good approach would be to use the depth information estimated from single SSS images along with any other invariant features that might be extracted to match pixels from one SSS image to another. Having even imprecise depth information could be used to constrain a simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) solution that would combine several views from different poses of the same bottom to form a more accurate bathymetric map. It may also be used as part of a probabilistic bathymetric mapping system such as envisioned by Burguera and Oliver.
ACCESS SONARR FROM ANOTHER COMPUTER GENERATOR
ĬGAN training learns a loss function by adding a discriminator network and training the discriminator to correctly classify images as real or generated and training the generator to cause miss classificationsĮxtracting depth information from the SSS would be very helpful in analysis of the SSS images. Harder materials tend to be dominated by specular reflection which has a very different angular dependence. Those methods produce good results for a uniform bottom that is dominated by diffuse reflection, such as silt. Studies that have used an analytic approach exploit the dependence of intensity on incidence angle. Unfortunately changes in bottom type and noise can limit the applicability of analytic methods of exploiting these. Shadows indicate the height of rocks, changes in intensity are a function of incidence angle, and the edge of the nadir is at the same angle in all images. When working from a single array per side, however, a fair amount of indirect evidence that can allow some estimation of depth contours. Then processing the two signals can produce some resolution of the third direction. One way to get depth directly from simple linear arrays is to use two or more such arrays per side with some offset between them. As a result the depth coordinate of the returns is unknown. The SSS's main limitation is that it does not provide any resolution of the angle in the vertical plane.
