A classification technique combining aspect dependence and elastic properties of target scattering
Zerr, Benoit; Tesei, Alessandra; Maguer, Alain; Fox, Warren L. J.; Fawcett, John A. (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1999/04)Discrimination between man-made and natural underwater objects and between man-made objects of different characteristics are the key objectives of target classication. The current approach is mainly based on the analysis ... -
A method for the three-dimensional reconstruction of underwater objects
Zerr, Benoit; Stage, Bjarne (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/10)This report describes a method to estimate the three-dimensional aspects of underwater objects using a sequence of sonar images. The data are recorded by a sector scanning sonar, carried by an underwater vehicle which ... -
A neural-network-fusion architecture for automatic extraction of oceanographic features from satellite remote sensing imagery
Askari, Farid; Zerr, Benoit (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1999/06)This report describes an approach for automatic feature detection from fusion of remote sensing imagery using a combination of neural network architecture and the Dempster-Shafer (DS) theory of -
An automatic approach to ship detection in spaceborne synthetic aperture radar imagery: an assessment of ship detection capability using RADARSAT
Askari, Farid; Zerr, Benoit (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2000/12)This report describes a methodology for automated ship and wake detection in space-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. The methodology incorporates a multistage approach involving several algorithms which can ... -
Automatic target classification using multiple sidescan sonar images of different orientations
Zerr, Benoit; Stage, Bjarne; Guerrero, Ana (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997/09)In this report, the target classification performance of a multiple view sidescan sonar is investigated. The classification statistics are estimated using model based automatic classifiers. The guidelines to the design of ... -
Multiple view sidescan sonar
Stage, Bjarne; Zerr, Benoit (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1995/12)The classification of objects on the seafloor by means of a sonar can be
