TLDR
The offshore activities in the North Sea have motivated the development of a 3D acoustic camera, and conventional 2D sonars are not capable of providing a real time view of the volume in front of an underwater vehicle.
Abstract
The offshore activities in the North Sea have motivated the development of a 3D acoustic camera. It is considered important to avoid the use of divers subsea and instead develop advanced remotely controlled machines and sensing devices. Also, water turbidity is high in many areas and the operation of conventional video is often restricted. Furthermore, conventional 2D sonars are not capable of providing a real time view of the volume in front of an underwater vehicle.

Acoustical Imaging Using Spectral Decomposition of the Aperture Field

TL;DR: In this article, a spectral decomposition of the aperture field was developed in order to make a practical underwater imaging system feasible and to keep the number of detectors at a minimum and use an image generating algorithm that allows the use of aperiodic detector apertures and the possibility of generation of a large number of image pixels.
