Sinopsis

A new type of actively sensing multisonar system has been developed for obstacle detection, localization and map updating in indoor environments. It comprises 24 individual intelligent transmitter and receiver elements arranged in a horizontal plane around a high-speed motion platform. The physical sensors are electronically configured to form various types of virtual sensor arrays for specific tasks and situations. A method for high-frequency firing compensates for the low speed of sound in air. Various schemes for intelligent evaluation of the array outputs provide highly accurate localization estimates. Experiments with the developed multisonar system in structured and cluttered environments demonstrate improved perception capabilities compared to state-of-the-art approaches
