  • System and method for detecting and measuring phenomena relating to altimetric variations in the seafloor
    Patent number: 8760969
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting and measuring phenomena relating to altimetric variations in the seafloor. The system including an autonomous submarine vehicle equipped with at least one interferometric sonar sensor configured to send an acoustic signal towards the seafloor and acquire the image of the seafloor generated by the reflection of said acoustic signal sent. The system also including a plurality of elements reflecting sound waves firmly fixed to the seafloor so as to outline a reference path for the passage of the autonomous submarine vehicle.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING AND MEASURING PHENOMENA RELATING TO ALTIMETRIC VARIATIONS IN THE SEAFLOOR
    Publication number: 20120113752
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for detecting and measuring phenomena relating to altimetric variations in the seafloor. The system (100) according to the present invention comprise an autonomous submarine vehicle (101) equipped with at least one interferometric sonar sensor (102) for sending an acoustic signal towards the seafloor and acquiring the image of the seafloor generated by the reflection of said acoustic signal sent, and is characterized in that it comprises a plurality of elements (103, 103?) reflecting the sound waves firmly fixed to the seafloor so as to outline a reference path for the passage of the autonomous submarine vehicle (101).
