getFanWidthR Documentation

Calculates the width of a 2-D sonar fan given the specifications in the parameter fanWidth. Only one time step is treated.

Description

Calculates the width of a 2-D sonar fan given the specifications in the parameter fanWidth. Only one time step is treated.

Usage

getFanWidth(data, fanWidth, stretch = 1, range = 0, ind = NULL)

Arguments

data

The list of inputs variables as returned from read.TSD (including ).

fanWidth

Has a number of possible values: (1) "b1": one way beam width. (2) "b2": two way beam width. (3) "fe": beams modeled by rectangular cones with width withing the fan given by the inter-beam angle, and calculated using the equivalent beam angle. This normally causes larged fan width due to overlap between beams.

stretch

Used to stretch the voxels of the ME70 multibeam echosounder in the direction of motion, so that space in between voxels is smoothed out.

range

The range at which this stretch value is as desired

ind

The indices of the beams to treat (such as data$rect).
