Stochastic formalism-based seafloor feature discrimination using multifractality of time-dependent acoustic backscatter

Dual-frequency echo-envelope data acquired using the normal-incidence single-beam echosounder system (SBES) have been examined to study its scale invariant properties. The scaling and multifractality of the SBES echo envelopes (at 33 and 210 kHz) were validated by applying a stochastic-based multifr...
