Adaptive-filter/feature-orthogonalization processing string for optimal LLRT mine classfication in side-scan sonar imagery
TL;DR: The ACF/feature orthogonalization based LLRT mine classification processing string provided average probability of correct mine classification and false alarm rate performance similar to that obtained when utilizing an expert sonar operator.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Adaptive three-dimensional range-crossrange-frequency filter processing string for sea mine classification in side scan sonar imagery
TL;DR: The ACF, feature orthogonalization, LLRT-based classification processing string provided average probability of correct mine classification and false alarm rate performance exceeding the one obtained when utilizing an expert sonar operator.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Side-scan sonar imagery fusion for sea mine detection and classification in very shallow water
TL;DR: The fusion of the CAD/CAC processing strings resulted in improved mine classification capability, providing a three-fold false alarm rate reduction, compared to the best individual CAD/ CAC processing string results.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Fusion of adaptive algorithms for the classification of sea mines using high resolution side scan sonar in very shallow water
TL;DR: It was shown that LLRT-based fusion algorithms outperform the logic-based or the M-out-of-N ones in the CAD/CAC processing string results, while maintaining a constant correct mine classification probability.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Adaptive filter for mine detection and classification in side-scan sonar imagery
TL;DR: In this paper, an adaptive clutter suppression linear FIR (ACF) filter was developed and applied to side scan sonar imagery data to discriminate between minelike target and clutter returns.
