Abstract

Nowadays, the freedom of movement regarding people and goods represent one of the fundamental values of the European Union. Safety and security is a prior condition regarding the development of the maritime transportation system, offshore industry and prosperity for coastal states.In this paper are presented a symbolic pattern analysis regarding the research methods and sides can sonar images from underwater vehicle for detection of different objects in the underwater environment. Using the underwater vehicles, the mission time is substantially reduced. Immediately after scanning the seabed in the intended area, the underwater contacts observed on the scan will be analyzed and interpreted, then, after confirmation that one of these contacts is a sea mine, mission-specific procedures will be implemented.
