Marport Signs Technology Licensing Agreement17/10/2007 |
| Marport has signed a Technology Licensing Agreement with Simon Fraser University (SFU) for an acoustic imaging system invented by Drs. John Bird and Paul Kraeutner at SFU's Underwater Research Laboratory. The patented sonar technology consists of signal processing methodology called SARA-CAATI (Small Aperture Range Angle - Computed Angle of Arrival Transient Imaging) which is a new method for 3D acoustic imaging and mapping of the seafloor. |

Applications for the new 3D sonar system include seabed surveys, submarine cable and pipe installation, offshore oil and gas exploration, underwater infrastructure inspection, subsea mine hunting, commercial fisheries and a wide variety of engineering and scientific studies.

This approach differs from conventional sonar imaging methods in that beam-forming is replaced by angle-of-arrival estimation. SARA-CAATI uses an angle-of-arrival estimation technique similar to interferometry, however, unlike interferometry, SFU's patent solves the problem of concurrent arrivals from multiple targets, hence it works in a multi-path
