Recently there is a great interest in the bi-static sonar. However, since the transmitter and the receiver operate on different platforms, it may be necessary to operate the system in a non-cooperative mode. In this situation, the detection and localization performance are limited. Therefore, it is necessary to classify the received pulse from the transmitter to overcome the performance limitation. In this paper, we proposed a robust automatic pulse classification method that can be applied to real systems. The proposed method eliminates the effects of noise and multipath propagation through post-processing and improves the pulse classification performance. We also verified the proposed method through the sea experimental data.
