Abstract: To solve the problem of low accuracy of defect detection in the complex underwater dams environment, a defect detection method based on multi-sensor data fusion is proposed. By combining the sonar equipment and optical camera, the sonar data is denoised by Kalman filter, and the optical image contrast is enhanced by the contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization(CLAHE) algorithm. At the same time, the weighted least square method is used to achieve the fusion of the two kinds of data, and the comprehensive image containing the global contours and high-definition details is generated. Then, convolutional neural network(CNN) is used to process the fusion image to realize accurate identification and classification of defects such as cracks and sediments. The experimental results show that the method successfully detected 3 cracks and 2 sediment accumulation areas in the test dam, significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of defect detection.
