Abstract

A system may be configured for implementing neural volumetric reconstruction for coherent synthetic aperture sonar. Exemplary systems include means for measuring underwater objects using high-resolution Synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) by coherently combining data from a moving array to form high-resolution imagery. Such a system may receive a waveform from the measurements of the underwater object and optimize the waveform for deconvolving via an iterative deconvolution optimization process applying an adaptable approach to waveform compression where performance is tuned via sparsity and smoothness parameters. Such a system may deconvolve the wave form using pulse deconvolution and use the deconvolved waveforms in an analysis-by-synthesis optimization operation with an implicit neural representation to yield higher resolution and superior volumetric reconstruction scene of the underwater object.
