Abstract :
DELPH-SONAR is a digital recording and processing system for two side scan sonar channels. Radiometric and geometric corrections produce on output a true map of sonar images. Results obtained from high level processings such as pipeline detection, freespan measurement, seafloor classification and screen digitization are stored in database and can be integrated onto the geographical map
