Abstract :
Canada´s new Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels will be the first naval ships to be fitted with a ground-breaking new Mine Countermeasures system. The system provides the capability to: acquire sonar images of the seabed with the highest combination of area coverage rate and resolution; accurately geographically position and geocode the sonar image data; store all acquired image data in a geographically keyed database; perform target detection and classification using change detection and inspect suspicious objects using a Remotely Operated Vehicle
