A Novel System for Seafloor Classification Using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Hybrid Layout with the Use of Unprocessed Multi-Beam Backscatter Data
Implementing Organization
National Institute of Oceanography (NIO)
Project Overview
The novel system for seafloor classification uses artificial neural network (ANN) hybrid layout with the use of unprocessed multi-beam backscatter data. Its a real-time seafloor roughness classifier using backscatter data after training the self-organized mapping (SOM) network and learning vector quantization (LVQ) network wherein, the system has the unique capability for the combined use of unsupervised SOM followed by supervised LVQ to achieve a highly improved performance in the roughness classification.
