An omega‐k algorithm for multireceiver synthetic aperture sonar

open access: yesElectronics Letters, 2023
In this Letter, the authors present a novel imaging algorithm for multireceiver synthetic aperture sonar (SAS). The Loffeld's bistatic formula (LBF) including quasi‐monostatic (QM) and multireceiver deformation (MD) phases is first reformulated into ...

Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) without Navigation: Scan Registration as Basis for Near Field Synthetic Imaging in 2D

open access: yesSensors, 2020
Sonars are essential for underwater sensing as they can operate over extended ranges and in poor visibility conditions. The use of a synthetic aperture is a popular approach to increase the resolution of sonars, i.e., the sonar with its N transducers is ...

Cognitive adaptation of sonar gain control in the bottlenose dolphin. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Echolocating animals adjust the transmit intensity and receive sensitivity of their sonar in order to regulate the sensation level of their echoes; this process is often termed automatic gain control. Gain control is considered not to be under the animal'
