Abstract
Texture analysis is performed on multibeam sonar signal returns discriminated angularity by beamforming. A collection of fourteen texture features are computed via co-occurrence matrices and data reduction is then performed using a principal components transformation. Acoustical boundaries (boundaries between regions with homogeneous acoustical properties) are evident from the features. Results indicate that seafloor bottom characteristics can be extracted from these texture features.
