Abstract

The proposed paper is about the description of textured areas in synthetic aperture sonar images. The texture descriptors come from the recursive interferometric representation of signals. This representation originates from a scattering operator that iterates over a wavelet transform and a modulus operator. This representation is invariant to translations and Lipschitz continuous relatively to deformations up to a log factor. A scattering metric can be derived from the scattering operator and used to quantify the similarity between signals. The scattering metric was used with a simple classifier to classify synthetic aperture sonar images with respect to the types of sea bottom.
