  • Sonar data compression
    Patent number: 11668820
    Abstract: A sonar survey system including a multibeam echo sounder using plural transmit projectors and plural receive hydrophones, wherein beams with associated magnitudes are received such that the largest magnitude beam(s) are identified as characterizing beam(s) and data associated with these characterizing beam(s) is used as a compressed characterization of the ensonified space.
