Segmentation and classification using active contours based superellipse fitting on side scan sonar images for marine demining

This paper proposes a new method for segmenting and classifying seamines on Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) side scan images. The method uses an active contours approach and superellipse a-priori knowledge to segment the image in object, object-shadow and background areas. In contrast to other method…
