Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007127271A2] A 3-dimensional sonar system having a fixed frame of reference including a transmitter and receiver array. The system may include a single ping processor for processing received echoes from a single transmission including methods to match filter sonar sensor data, to optionally compensate for self Doppler, beamform sonar sensor data, to extract bottom targets from beamformed data and to extract in-water targets from the beamformed data. The system may also include a multi ping processor to operate on the outputs of multiple pings from the single ping processor including methods to detect tracks from in-water targets.
