Time and Cost-Efficient Bathymetric Mapping System using Sparse Point Cloud Generation and Automatic Object Detection. (arXiv:2210.10263v1 [cs.CV])

Generating 3D point cloud (PC) data from noisy sonar measurements is a
problem that has potential applications for bathymetry mapping, artificial
object inspection, mapping of aquatic plants and fauna as well as underwater
navigation and localization of vehicles such as submarines. Side-scan sonar
sensors are available in inexpensive cost ranges, especially in fish-finders,
where the transducers are usually mounted to the bottom of a boat and can
approach shallower depths than the ones attached to an Uncrewed Underwater
Vehicle (UUV) …
