Numerical Research on the Mathematical Model of Echosounder for Distance to Bottom Measurement

Abstract

In recent years, we can observe a dynamic development of numerically tested algorithms dedicated to AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) and ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle). Simulations can provide valuable experience at the preparation stage to avoid irregularities in research in the real environment. This article presents a mathematical model of the echosounder for measuring the distance from the bottom implemented and simulated in MATLAB. The presented algorithm's operation example confirms the correctness of the model.
