Abstract:

The long term goals this project is to develop high resolution, forward looking sonar systems that can be used in AOSN class AUVs for navigation, obstacle avoidance, and target location, identification and classification. To enhance the classification of targets, one of the forward looking sonar systems being developed generates 3-D images of the insonified targets.
