Abstract
Synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) is an acoustic method for detecting objects in an environment. Conventional SAS image reconstruction techniques invert a forward model based on geometric scattering and straight-line propagation. Acoustic features that do not fit this model, such as multiple scattering and late-time returns, appear out of focus. This paper describes an image reconstruction technique that selectively applies range-general and range-specific methods to improve the focus of late-time returns while maintaining image quality away from the focal plane. The technique is demonstrated on experimental data and compared with a range-specific algorithm.
