The backscattering intensity collected by multi beam sonar system and scanning sonar system can be used to classify seabed bottom characteristics. However, there are many problems that have not been solved in the practical application. This paper attempts to sort out and analyze the problems encountered in the classification process and put forward some solutions. The relationship among acoustic image, seabed topography and sediment is analyzed
