Abstract
A method for forming a sonar image is provided comprising receiving first sonar data from a sonar transducer assembly when it is oriented in a first orientation, receiving first orientation data, and causing an actuator to generate movement of the sonar transducer assembly so it moves from the first orientation to a second orientation. The method includes receiving second sonar data from the sonar transducer assembly when it is oriented in the second orientation, receiving second orientation data, and creating a sonar image using the first sonar data, the second sonar data, the first orientation data, and the second orientation data. The sonar image includes first and second image portions including image data representative of the first and second sonar data. The first image portion is positioned relative to the second image portion to portray a real-world differential position of the first sonar data relative to the second sonar data.
