An advanced algorithm is propbsed in this paper to solve the problem of detecting and recognizing the targets settled on sea-bottom underwater acoustic images. This advanced algorithm consists of an improved detection algorithm on the basis of a nonlinear matched filter, a classification feature extractor and a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The detection stage uses a sliding match mask to identify which region in the images is closely similar to the mine's signature. The mask is designed according to the imaging characteristics of bottom targets in side-scan sonar images, SID it is supposed to ensure a low missed detection rate. For each detected target-like region, the feature extractor calculates a set of features prepared to the recognition stage. Recognition of underwater objects is a typical small sample problem, so a Support Vector Machine classifkr is selected so that favorable generalization performance can be guaranteed. This scheme was experimentally used to some practical underwater acoustic images, and the efficiency was proved by the experimental results.
