In this work, we analyze one-step and two-step setups for detection multiple different objects in sidescan sonar images. The one-step setup and the first step in the two-step setup uses standard deep learning models, like YOLOv8, to either directly locate and classify the objects or to serve as a snippet extractor. In the second step these extracted snippets are further classified by a convolutional neural network. Furthermore, we investigate a setup in which the detected objects from the one-step approach are filtered by another CNN to reduce false alarms. Finally, we compare the performance of multiple deep learning detectors to a classical two-step approach using template matching combined with a CNN. Our results show that both two-step setups generate less false alarms. Furthermore, all deep learning models outperform the template matching approach.enBitte wählen Sie eine Lizenz aus: (Unsere Empfehlung: CC-BY)deep learningAutomatic target recognitionSonar imagery600Artikel/Aufsatz
