Synthetic aperture mapping and imaging

  • Chapter
Underwater Acoustic Digital Signal Processing and Communication Systems

Abstract

Synthetic aperture processing for seabed imaging has seen a renewed interest during recent years in both civilian and military applications (see the special issue of the IEEE Journ. of Ocean. Eng. January 1992). Towards the end of the eighties, several prototype systems were developed.
