Sidescan Sonar has been the most popular probe for sea floor detecting in the underwater engineering. It is not only use to map the topography of the sea floor but also apply to the underwater search and rescue. Sidescan Sonar relies on commercial software, e.g. SonarPro, to record the raw data and draw images of the sea floor. However, SonarPro only presents the data to display segmental images, but it can not illustrate all images of the sea floor in one drawing. Researchers need to use the other software, called WizMap, to mosaic all Sidescan images in one drawing. WizMap is powerful for analyzing Sidescan data, but it is costly and has never been published its technology of Sidescan mosaic images. Thus we can not understand how Wizmap analysis raw data and make a mosaic drawing. Moreover, we could only accept the results it made, even the mosaic drawing is not correct. In this study, we implement a new analysis software package to facilitate reading raw data and drawing mosaic images of Sidescan Sonar.
Sidescan Sonar provides basic function to record all digital raw data including GPS position, heading, roll, pitch, etc. We transfer the ship and Sidescan location from GPS to TM2 coordinate and illustrate the two side images along Sidescan trace in the same drawing. We will review the drawing and check all characteristics of these images and then adjust the heading offset and location offset to fit a better mosaic drawing. Finally, we combine all images into one mosaic drawing and compare two drawings between WizMap mosaic image and our mosaic drawing for confirming all results.
