Abstract :
Airborne ultrasound sensing techniques are widely used for obtaining range information. Research is being carried out to extend the measuring capabilities of sonar ranging systems. The results of an investigation are presented aimed at understanding how a single transducer can be used for estimating the inclination angle of a specular planar reflector.
