Embodiment 1

[0085] A method for calibrating the sounding and span performance of a multi-beam echo sounder, characterized in that a total-station electronic speed measuring instrument is used as a measurement standard, and the measured value of the total-station electronic speed measuring instrument is used as an agreed true value. The electronic speed measuring instrument is placed on the control point on one side of the test pool, and the multi-dimensional operation control mechanism is set on the test pool. The test pool is a closed cuboid pool with a length of not less than 180m, a width of not less than 20m and a depth of not less than 8m. The multi-dimensional operation control mechanism is Realize the structure of multi-degree-of-freedom control of lifting, rotation, and horizontal displacement. The side wall of the test pool is used as a standard reflector. By comparing the measured value of the multi-beam echo sounder with the agreed true value, the sounding depth and span of the m...

Abstract

The invention relates to a depth sounding and width spanning performance calibration method of a multibeam echosounder. A total station electronic tacheometer is used as a measurement standard device,a measured value of the total station electronic tacheometer is used as a conventional true value, the total station electronic tacheometer is placed on a control point on one side of a test pool, aside wall of the test pool is used as a standard reflecting plate, a multi-dimensional operation control mechanism is arranged on the test pool, a multibeam echosounder to be tested is installed on the multi-dimensional operation control mechanism, and a calibration result of depth sounding and width spanning performance parameters of the multibeam echosounder is obtained by the comparison of themeasured value and the conventional true value of the multibeam echosounder. The depth sounding and width spanning performance calibration method provided by the invention has the beneficial effects that, the longitudinal depth sounding is replaced with underwater lateral ranging, full-range depth sounding performance calibration within the range of 175 m can be achieved by adjusting a transmitting horizontal sector of a transducer array to be perpendicular to a short side wall of the pool, full-width width spanning performance calibration under the condition of 16-m water depth can be achieved by adjusting the transmitting horizontal sector of the transducer array to be perpendicular to a long side wall of the pool, and the depth and width spanning calibration requirements of the multibeam echosounder in shallow water fields such as port and waterway, marine traffic engineering and near shores and the like can be met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of measurement of underwater surveying and mapping instruments, and in particular relates to a device and method for calibrating depth and span performance of a multi-beam depth sounder. Background technique [0002] Multi-beam echo sounder has become the mainstream sonar equipment for underwater terrain survey due to its unique advantages of full coverage and efficient sounding. The sounding performance calibration is the main means to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the traceability performance of the sounding value of the multi-beam echo sounder. [0003] At present, there are only a handful of laboratories in my country that can carry out the measurement and calibration of the sounding performance of multi-beam echo sounders. This is mainly because the calibration of multi-beam echo sounders requires the support of a large test pool. Due to the limited size of the pool, the calibration range is ge...
