01. The key role of sonar communication in nature

Music is the organised consequence of sound and silence. Sound is an important means of communication for most of the animals. They produce various sounds in order to transmit different messages. Thereby, they manage to communicate day and night, even over long distances. Sonar communication is important for their survival, because it ensures invisibility for both the sender and the receiver of a message.

 

Furthermore, the dolphins use the sound as a means of echolocation. “In line segment transform processing, cumulative summation of match-filtered echo data from a given object, as perceived from different transmitter/receiver locations, yields an image of the object. A radar/sonar image can then be recursively constructed.”

 

Humans have replicated this method of echolocation to produce radar/sonar imaging systems.
