Abstract
- A time-variant curve (TVC) model-based automatic equalization method is proposed for the intensity variation problem of synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) images. A theoretical expression of TVC is deduced based on sound transmission model, underwater backscattering strength model and SAS image model. A method to calculate the TVC observations is established based on the statistical model of SAS images. An estimation method based on non-linear least square fitting model (NL-LSFM) is used to acquire the optimized parameter of TVC. At last, the SAS images are automatically equalized and enhanced based on the optimized TVC. The method proposed has been validated by lake and sea trials. The test results show that the result calculated by the TVC expression is consistent with the experimental data, and the automatic equalization method can remove the intensity variation of SAS images properly.
