| contents | In this paper, we address stereo acoustic data fusion for marine robotics and propose a geometry-based method for projecting observed features from one sonar to another for a cross-modal stereo sonar setup that consists of both a forward-looking and a sidescan sonar. Our acoustic geometry for sidescan and forward-looking sonar is inspired by the epipolar geometry for stereo cameras, and we leverage relative pose information to project where an observed feature in one sonar image will be found in the image of another sonar. Additionally, we analyze how both the feature location relative to the sonar and the relative pose between the two sonars impact the projection. From simulated results, we identify desirable stereo configurations for applications in field robotics like feature correspondence and recovery of the 3D information of the feature. |
