Abstract

This paper describes a simulation model of a sonar seabed mapping system based on echo sounder. The purpose of this simulation is to study the performance of linear predictors of different orders in estimating the future values of seabed depths. The simulated system consists of random seabed generator, echo sounder simulated signal generator and a predictor. The beam width of the echo sounder and the order of the estimator can be selected by the user. Labview and Matlab were used to build the simulation model. Results showed (hat a second order predictor gives the best results.
