Abstract

The utilization of side-scan sonar (SSS) technology plays a pivotal role in ensuring the safety of underwater environments and facilitating the discovery of aquatic resources during daily production activities. Within this field, the use of SSS images for seabed target detection has gained widespread recognition. However, many existing detection approaches primarily concentrate on tracking the evolution path of optical image object detection tasks, resulting in complex structures and limited versatility. To tackle this issue, we introduce a pioneering Dual-Domain Multi-Frequency Network (D2MFNet) meticulously crafted to harness the distinct characteristics of SSS image detection. To maximize the information extracted from SSS images across various frequency ranges, we introduce a novel method for calculating the information flow of target ranges and propose a Multi-Frequency Combined Attention Mechanism (MFCAM). This mechanism amplifies the relevance of dual-domain features across different channels. Moreover, recognizing that SSS images can provide richer insights after frequency domain conversion, we introduce a Dual-Domain Feature Pyramid Network D2FPN. By incorporating frequency domain information representation, D2FPN significantly augments the depth and breadth of feature information in underwater small datasets. Our methods are seamlessly designed for integration into existing networks, offering plug-and-play functionality with substantial performance enhancements. We have conducted extensive experiments to validate the efficacy of our proposed techniques, and the results showcase their state-of-the-art performance. We will make our code and models publicly available at https://dagshub.com/estrellaww00/D2MFNet.
