Geometry-Driven Opti-Acoustic Co-Registration and View-Invariant Reflectivity Mapping for Side-Scan Sonar
Taqi Hamoda, Nuno Gracias
Side-Scan Sonar (SSS) is a primary modality for large-scale underwater mapping, yet automated perception and cross-modal alignment are severely bottlenecked by acoustic complexitie…

BenthicDINO: Physics-Informed Self-Distillation for View-Invariant Side-Scan Sonar Representations
Taqi Hamoda, Hayat Rajani, Nuno Gracias
Automated perception in side-scan sonar (SSS) imagery is severely hindered by physical acoustic artifacts, resulting in representations that inextricably mix intrinsic seabed refle…
