Deep Gabor Neural Network For Automatic Detection Of Mine-Like Objects In Sonar Imagery, Hoang Thanh Le, Son Lam Phung, Philip B. Chapple, Abdesselam Bouzerdoum, Christian H. Ritz, Le Chung Tran

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

With the advances in sonar imaging technology, sonar imagery has increasingly been used for oceanographic studies in civilian and military applications. High-resolution imaging sonars can be mounted on various survey platforms, typically autonomous underwater vehicles, which provide enhanced speed and improved data quality with long-range support. This paper addresses the automatic detection of mine-like objects using sonar images. The proposed Gabor-based detector is designed as a feature pyramid network with a small number of trainable weights. Our approach combines both semantically weak and strong features to handle mine-like objects at multiple scales effectively. For feature extraction, we introduce a parameterized …

The Internet of things (IoT), made up of a massive number of sensor devices interconnected, can be used for data exchange, intelligent identification, and management of interconnected “things.” IoT devices are proliferating and playing a crucial role in improving the living quality and living standard of the people. However, the real IoT is more vulnerable to attack by countless cyberattacks from the Internet, which may cause privacy data leakage, data tampering and also cause significant harm to society and individuals. Network security is essential in the IoT system, and Web injection is one of the most severe security problems, especially …


Air Void Detection Using Variational Mode Decomposition With Low Rank, Fok Hing Chi Tivive, Abdesselam Bouzerdoum, Shivakumar Karekal Jan 2020

Air Void Detection Using Variational Mode Decomposition With Low Rank, Fok Hing Chi Tivive, Abdesselam Bouzerdoum, Shivakumar Karekal

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

This paper presents an air-void detection technique for air-coupled radar, which emits electromagnetic waves to interrogate an air-void inside a medium or between two media. The reflections from the air-medium interfaces are usually corrupted by air-coupling, antenna ringing, and internal reflections, rendering air-void detection very difficult or, in certain cases, impossible. The proposed method exploits the low-rank structure of the background clutter to suppress these nuisance signals. A variational mode decomposition model is developed to extract the backscattering at different air-medium interfaces as signal modes. Real experiments are conducted using a stepped frequency radar. The experimental results show that the …
