| contents | Echolocation is the prime sensing modality for many species of bats, who show the intricate ability to perform a plethora of tasks in complex and unstructured environments. Understanding this exceptional feat of sensorimotor interaction is a key aspect into building more robust and performant man-made sonar sensors. In order to better understand the underlying perception mechanisms it is important to get a good insight into the nature of the reflected signals that the bat perceives. While ensonification experiments are in important way to better understand the nature of these signals, they are as time-consuming to perform as they are informative. In this paper we present SonoTraceLab, an open-source software package for simulating both technical as well as biological sonar systems in complex scenes. Using simulation approaches can drastically increase insights into the nature of biological echolocation systems, while reducing the time- and material complexity of performing them. |
