Super-resolution (SR) is a technique that restores image details based on existing information, enhancing the resolution of images to prevent quality degradation. Despite significant achievements in deep-learning-based SR models, their application in underwater sonar scenarios is limited due to the lack of underwater sonar datasets and the difficulty in recovering texture details. To address these challenges, we propose a mult...

The speed of sound in seawater plays a crucial role in determining the accuracy of multibeam bathymetric measurements. In deep-sea multibeam measurements, the challenge of inadequate longitudinal coverage of sound speed profiles arises from variations in seafloor topography, meteorological conditions, measurement equipment, and operational efficiency, resulting in diminished measurement precision. Building upon the EOF (Empiri...

The scarcity and difficulty in acquiring Side-scan sonar target images limit the application of deep learning algorithms in Side-scan sonar target detection. At present, there are few amplification methods for Side-scan sonar images, and the amplification image quality is not ideal, which is not suitable for the characteristics of Side-scan sonar images. Addressing the current shortage of sample augmentation methods for Side-s...

In response to the current challenges in efficiently acquiring sound speed profiles and ensuring their representativeness, considering the need to fully leverage historical sound speed profiles while accounting for their spatiotemporal variability, we introduce a model for sound speed profile prediction based on a CNN-BiLSTM-Attention network, which integrates a convolutional neural network (CNN), a bidirectional long short-te...

Given the lack of systematic research on bathymetric surveys with multi-beam sonar carried by autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in unfamiliar waters, this paper proposes a method for multi-beam bathymetric surveys based on the constant-depth mode of AUVs, considering equipment safety, operational efficiency, and data quality. Firstly, basic principles for multi-beam bathymetric surveys under the constant-depth mode are pro...
