Frequently Answers and Questions
What is imaging sonar?
Imaging sonar is a type of sonar that uses multiple beams of sound to create an image of the underwater environment. This is in contrast to traditional sonar, which uses a single beam of sound to measure the distance to an object.
How do I interpret the sonar images?
Imagine a flashlight lying on a table and an object such as a coffee cup located in front of the flashlight. If you look down on this scene, you will see a bright area where light is reflecting off the face of the coffee cup. You will also see a dark shadow behind the coffee cup where light is unable to reach. The same idea can be applied to a Teledyne BlueView imaging sonar by replacing the light source with a sound source. Bright areas on the sonar image are the result of objects reflecting sound, while dark areas are acoustic shadows resulting from an object blocking the sound.
What are the benefits of using VDSL connectivity?
VDSL connectivity allows the sonar to communicate over a single twisted pair cable, which can be more convenient and reliable than using a separate Ethernet cable.
