Construction of sonar images based on the received signal side-scan sonar

In paper we consider the problem of constructing sonar images in a fluctuating ocean. The inverse problem of determine seabed scattering coefficient was researched within a single approximation of radiative transfer theory. There were got an explicit solution of the problem, the results of numerical and theoretical analysis of influence volume scattering on the quality sonar images. In paper we presented experiments with real data from side-scan sonar.
