This paper presents an underwater object detection and localization system based on multi-beam sonar image processing techniques. Firstly, sonar data flow collected by multi-beam sonar is processed by median filter to reduce noise. Secondly, an improved adaptive thresholding method based on Otsu method is proposed to extract foreground objects from sonar image. Finally, the object’s contour is calculated by Moore-Neighbor Tracing algorithm to locate the object. Experiments show that the proposed system can detect underwater objects quickly and the figure out the position of objects accurately.

Object Detection is a popular technology that detects instances within an image. In order to eliminate the barriers in Computer Vision technology due to the dissolution of the BGR(Blue-Green-Red) constituents with the increase in depth, it has been a necessity that the accuracy and efficiency of detecting any object underwater is optimum. In this article, we conduct Underwater Object Detection using Machine Learning through Tensorflow and Image Processing along with Faster R-CNN (Regions with Convolution Neural Network) as an algorithm for implementation. A suitable environment will be created so that Machine Learning algorithm will be used to train different images of the object. Open source Computer Vision has various functions which can be used for the image processing needs when an image is captured.
