This study introduces a method to improve sonar accuracy by fusing data from multiple pings, enhancing signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). A novel motion estimation algorithm addresses relative motion, boosting sonar performance and operational range.

Area of Science:

  • Acoustics and Signal Processing
  • Marine Technology
  • Robotics and Autonomous Systems

Background:

  • Sonar systems are critical for underwater navigation and detection.
  • System accuracy is often limited by environmental noise and target motion.
  • Improving signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is key to enhancing sonar performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a practical method for increasing sonar effective signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
  • To address the challenge of relative motion between sonar and target during data acquisition.
  • To enhance sonar accuracy and operational range through data fusion.

Main Methods:

  • Fusing time delay information from a burst of multiple sonar pings.
  • Implementing a robust motion estimation algorithm using multi-receiver data.
