Research Summary

Side scan sonars are underwater imaging devices used for mapping and visualizing submerged objects and terrain in oceans, lakes, and rivers. These sonar systems emit high-frequency sound waves from a towed or mounted transducer, which then bounce off the seafloor and objects beneath the water's surface. By analyzing the time it takes for the sound waves to return to the transducer, side scan sonars create detailed two-dimensional images of the seafloor and any objects or features present, including wrecks, rocks, vegetation, and geological formations. This technology is widely utilized in marine archaeology, underwater surveying, search and rescue operations, environmental monitoring, and offshore infrastructure inspection, providing valuable insights into underwater environments and aiding in the identification and characterization of submerged hazards and resources.
