Classification of sedimentary structures of bottom soil and objects of technogenic origin using acoustic profiling

The physical and mechanical characteristics of the bottom soil, determining the solution to the problem of classifying their types during acoustic profiling of marine sedimentary structures, are considered. The relationship between the main parameters of the bottom soil is determined. Knowledge of these characteristics obtained during profiling of sedimentary structures allows for the classification and interpretation of reflecting layers and the determination of the «power» of each of them. The physical principles and algorithm for performing a layer-by-layer classification of bottom structures and searching for objects of technogenic origin, in particular mine-like objects, are presented.
