This is a User's Guide developed under SERDP project, "Simulation, Signal Extraction, and Augmented Visualization for 3D BOSS Data."

The goal of this code is to allow users to:

• Parse binary data files captured by a buried object scanning sonar into a simple Matlab structure containing raw sonar data, pulse and system information.
• Perform basic operations like pulse compression and real - aperture beamforming to improve the SNR and detect region's of interest in the data.
• Geo - locate detected regions in latitude and longitude, so that different looks of the same target captured by different scans can be compared.
• Perform phase - preserving SAS processing on regions of interest so that the acoustic color spectra can be observed, allowing feature extraction for machine learning and target classification.
