Explainable Systematic Analysis for Synthetic Aperture Sonar Imagery

2021-01-06 · Sarah Walker, Joshua Peeples, Jeff Dale, James Keller, Alina Zare

In this work, we present an in-depth and systematic analysis using tools such as local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME) (arXiv:1602.04938) and divergence measures to analyze what changes lead to improvement in performance in fine tuned models for synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) data. We examine the sensitivity to factors in the fine tuning process such as class imbalance. Our findings show not only an improvement in seafloor texture classification, but also provide greater insight into what features play critical roles in improving performance as well as a knowledge of the importance of balanced data for fine tuning deep learning models for seafloor classification in SAS imagery.

Using Shadows in Circular Synthetic Aperture Sonar Imaging for Target Analysis

2026-01-23 · Yann Le Gall, Nicolas Burlet, Mathieu Simon, Fabien Novella 외 arxiv

Circular Synthetic Aperture Sonar (CSAS) provides a 360° azimuth view of the seabed, surpassing the limited aperture and mono-view image of conventional side-scan SAS. This makes CSAS a valuable tool for target recogniti…
