ROS message types for sonars.
This package contains two message types meant for use with single-, split- and multi-beam sonars. It defines two message types
- Ping - this type is closer to raw sonar data; it uses the
sensor_msgs/Imagetype to transport magnitude and phase from the sonar, and defines additional information (such as beam direction, range bins, etc.) - Scan - this type captures returns extracted from the raw sonar data. For each return, the message carries its coordinates, magnitude, and phase. It also carries range bounds and beamwidth information.
