Abstract

Forward Looking Sonar simulators are useful tools for developing Obstacle Avoidance system of Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). A simulating the single and multi-beam forward looking sonar are established through the process simulation model. A new type beam model for sensing the environment is contrived based on collision detection technique of Virtual Reality. And it implements accurate realization of sonar resolution, which is able to keep the system real-time. The results of experiment show that the methods of simulation are feasible and the simulation is close to the AUV course of movement.
