Detection of ellipse and line targets is important for the analysis of Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) images. An
automatic ellipse and line targets detection method from synthetic aperture sonar images is presented. The method
mainly has three procedures: preprocessing of SAS images, Zernike Orthogonal Moment Edge Detection Algorithm
(ZOMEDA), line and ellipse detection. The guidance is presented firstly on how to perform the preprocessing of SAS
images. Then, ZOMEDA is utilized to produce edge points with both the direction and position information. Principles
of ZOMEDA with the 7x7 template are analyzed and the coefficients to carry out the ZOMEDA are calculated and
listed. The idea of Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC) is applied to the Line and ellipse detection procedure to
improve the robustness and the computing efficiency. Detail procedures of RANSAC are analyzed in the article.
Calculating of line and ellipse parameters is pivotal to carry out the idea of RANSAC. Principles are analyzed on how
to calculate the parameters of the line and ellipse based on the direction and position information. Another important
procedure, parameters refinement, is also discussed. At last, the line and ellipse detection method is applied to
simulated datasets and lake-trial datasets for validation.
