  • Use of multi-beam sonar systems to generate point cloud data and models, and data registration in underwater metrology applications
    Patent number: 11226412
    Abstract: Use of sonar systems to collect dimensional and relational data for use in metrology, mapping, object and structure detection, survey and evaluation applications is disclosed. Systems and methods for collecting underwater data sets, using registration targets, for data registration of underwater acoustic data sets, as well as for data registration of underwater acoustic data sets with above-the-waterline data sets (e.g., laser-based data sets) are described.

  • Calibrating a multibeam sonar apparatus
    Patent number: 8593903
    Abstract: A method of obtaining an acoustic echo signal by a sonar apparatus (receiver array 100, 101). The method comprises measuring phases and magnitudes of at least one predetermined acoustic calibration signal received from a plurality of respective directions 109 by the sonar apparatus; determining a complex directional response from the measured phases and magnitudes; receiving an acoustic echo signal; compensating the received acoustic echo signal for the determined complex directional response.
