Sidescan Sonar Image Interpretation with Neural Networks

摘要

This paper investigates the use of neural networks for the direct estimation ofimage texture. Unlike previous approaches where networks are used to make decisions on feature vectors derived from traditional techniques, or where a network is trained to perform the function of a traditional technique, the proposed approach will use a network to directly model texture. The envisioned approaches to this method are described and the results of the preliminary 1 -dimensional tests are presented.
