Sonar Image Acquisition

  • A moving sonar fish emits an acoustic wave at regular intervals of time and records the reflected wave.
  • An image of the sea floor is reconstructed from the acoustic waves.
  • Objects observed at different distances from the sonar fish will present different intensities and shapes.
  • The farther an object is from the sonar, the longer its shadow.
  • The image is therefore divided into three regions (in the range direction) and filter parameters are optimized separately in each region.
