摘要：With the development of 21th century seabed imaging sonar technology, more and more attention is paid to buried object detection technology in the world. In this paper, a low frequency and high resolution three-dimensional acoustic imaging of buried object detection method and its application example are given. Compared with the traditional two-dimensional synthetic aperture imaging, the 3D imaging technology not only solves the problem of the aliasing of the seabed formation echo and the sea floor echo, being able to provide the target buried depth, but also the 3D imaging is more helpful to the image recognition. The 3D acoustic imaging method proposed by this paper has already become the development trend of buried object detection technology. We have noticed that, different from the three-dimensional visualization of the target in the water, the three-dimensional visualization of buried objects has a serious formation image occlusion problem. In addition, the three-dimensional imaging needs to be obtained centimeter-level resolution on three dimensions for better image recognition of small buried objects, in which azimuth resolution is the bottleneck.
