Geometric Correction of Side-Scan Sonar Images with Image-Consistent Attitude Refinement
Can Lei, Valerio Franchi, Hayat Rajani +3
Side-scan sonar (SSS) images are susceptible to motion-induced geometric distortion, which degrades their reliability for seabed interpretation and downstream tasks. Existing corre…

Physically Motivated Knowledge Distillation for Blind Geometric Correction of Side-Scan Sonar Imagery
Can Lei, Hayat Rajani, Valerio Franchi +4
Side-scan sonar (SSS) imagery is susceptible to geometric distortions caused by platform motion instability, which degrade geometric consistency and limit downstream analyses such…
