Underwater Object Identification in Laser Line Scan Imagery

Abstract

Our long term goal is to provide the Navy with a robust automated target cueing and identification capability for use with high resolution underwater imaging sensors such as Raytheon's laser line scan system. These electro-optical sensors operate at standoff ranges to survey large areas of the underwater environment in search of naval targets of interest and are currently being incorporated into sonar towbodies to create high probability of detection and low false alarm rate mine countermeasure (MCM) systems.
