Signal-Centric Remote Sensing via Alternative Preprocessing and Acoustic Processing for ML-Driven Applications

arXiv:2609.21123v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The dominant method of processing sonar data is using image-based representations, requiring the preprocessing of image data on autonomous systems. We propose an alternative data processing method for remote sensing applications via the use of data in Comma-Seperated Value format. Experimentation on our alternative approach shows a reduction of processing time by 91.18%, an improvement in accurate object detection by Machine Learning, and an increase in SNR (Signal-to-noise ratio), PSNR (Peak signal-to-noise ratio), and other evaluation metrics.
