Abstract

As one of the most important sensors of autonomous underwater vehicle, sonar is used to acquire underwater environmental information. Processing the sonar data with a proper method can generate important features of underwater environment, of which the characteristics are large amount of data, highly requiring real-time and complex computation. Using C6000 DSP to implement sonar data processing is a feasible solution. Thus this paper presents a sonar data processing system of underwater robot which takes charge of acquiring and preprocessing sonar data to get significant environmental features for the robot navigation algorithm to use.
