Automatic Screening of Sonar Imagery Using Artificial Intelligence Techniques John Tran
Contents Introduction and Background Development Results and Conclusions
Introduction and Background
Functionality Analyze sonar images and produce signals of interest Use processed image data instead of raw image Revolves around the application of neural networks with various modifications
Background Neural Network –Takes in a number of inputs –Calculates the net internal activity at each node –Apply activation functions to these values –Continue to do this until the end of the network Multilayer Perceptron –Involves multiple layers and possible hidden nodes
Related Projects The Truck Backer-Upper (Nguyen and Widrow) –Used a multilayer perceptron network to simulate a trailer truck backing into a loading dock
Expected Results Training error over time < 1 Consistent detection spaces Good adaptability of the neural network
Related Research The research project being done here was built off of my mentor’s original research on the subject.
Development
Procedures/Methods Initialization Repeated Review Update
Programming Language MATLab –Handles manipulation of matrices quickly and efficiently
Algorithms Back Propagation Sigmoidal Nonlinerality Delta-Delta Learning Rule Nguyen-Widrow Initialization
Encountered Problems Incorrect image statistics –Statistics did not represent the original sonar image accurately Inconsistent training results –Detection space would fluctuate with each training
