Knowledge Optical to Sonar (KnOTS): Towards the Transfer of Knowledge of Underwater Object Detection from Optical to Forward-Looking Sonar Imagery

We develop an approach to detect objects in forward-looking sonar (FLS) images using corresponding optical images and without the need for expert manual labeling of sonar images. Sonar sensing is more robust to disadvantageous underwater environmental conditions than optical sensing, but the scarcit…
