Abstract

AbstractThe authors present exploitation of Multiple Views in Single‐Path (MVSP) Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS). The authors demonstrate the interest of MVSP SAS for underwater Mine Counter‐Measures (MCM) with unmanned vehicles, to comply with requirements for performances of detection and classification and time constraints. The authors here lay the emphasis on exploitation in reduction of false alarms of classification by alleviating the ambiguity between mines and natural bottom objects. Finally, the authors show that MVSP SAS is offering a pre‐identification tool with high impact on MCM process duration.
