Boundary detection and Superpixel formation in synthetic aperture sonar imagery
Abstract: A boundary detection algorithm for synthetic aper- ture sonar (SAS) images that draws upon a popular superpixel formation algorithm is detailed and tested against a set of SAS images containing a variety of common seabed categories. Textural clues are… Read More
