Abstract
By using a multibeam image sonar, the return signals from the targets on seabed and background can be stored and displayed in the form of distance-azimuth, so that the location and classification for underwater targets are realized. When the sonar is to be evaluated or tested on a specified area, it is generally needed to know the feature of the seabed in the tested area. This is usually done by a side scan sonar1. However, when the ship used in the experiment is fixed, we can’t employ the side scan sonar to get the géomorphologie map. In this case, this task can also be performed by the imaging sonar itself.
