Patent attributes
A sonar system is provided for generating live sonar images having an expanded coverage angle. The sonar system includes a first sonar transducer assembly defining a first facing direction and having array(s) of sonar transducer elements and a second sonar transducer assembly defining a second facing direction and having array(s) of sonar transducer elements. The sonar system includes processor(s) and a memory including computer program code configured to, when executed, cause the processor(s) to receive first and second sonar return data from the first and second plurality of sonar transducer assemblies, receive first and second facing direction data for the first and second sonar transducer assemblies, position first and second sonar return data based on the first and second facing direction data to form positioned first and second sonar return data, and generate a live sonar image of the underwater environment using the positioned first and second sonar return data.
