- Abstract:
-
Mine detection is of great significance to national defense and security. However, because of the high cost of underwater target sonar imaging experiments, usually sufficient mine sonar image samples cannot be obtained. Thus, the detection accuracy of mines and other targets is difficult to improve using deep neural networks. To solve this problem, a mine target detection and recognition method based on image simulation and transfer learning is proposed in this paper. The simulation model of a mine target is established in this proposed method according to the imaging mechanism of sidescan sonar to obtain numerous mine target images. Further, the deep convolutional neural network (CNN) is pretrained by the ImagenetNet dataset and then the deep CNN is fine-tuned by real and simulated mine images to adapt to mine targets detection. Finally, the fine-tuned CNN is used as the benchmark of the target detection network, and the target detection training is performed; real mine sonar images are used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Experimental results show that the proposed mine detection method based on sample simulation and transfer learning can detect mine targets more accurately than some traditional feature extraction and detection, and deep learning-based detection methods using only real samples for training, which is helpful for underwater target detection.
