Sonar mosaic computation from multibeam echo sounder

Abstract

Recent multi-beam echo-sounders have two functions: bathymetry for iso-depths processing and sonar imagery which represents the variability of the acoustic interface. These sonar data are processed to get a cartographic representation commonly named mosaic. The construction of this image is based on the geometrical acquisition of the signal and on image processing techniques.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
