Each receiver of advanced sonar ring localizes multiple targets on one firing.
Each sonar transmits a number of pulses fired in sequence, the exact number of which is determined by a unique code.
The mobile robots may navigate by means of a number of monitoring systems such as the sonar-sensing system or the visual-sensing system.
This procedure makes use of past sonar readings stored in the occupancy grid map.
Side-scan sonar and seismic methods have been used widely to map these topographic structures.
Observations are made using an imaging sonar that scans the horizontal plane around the vehicle.
