“…The echosounder [20] operates by emitting sound signals in a directed manner through a transmitter and subsequently receiving echo signals. When the emitted signal encounters a target or object, it generates a significant echo signal [21]. By recording the intensity and time of the echo and implementing various data-processing steps, such as amplification, filtering, and denoising [22][23][24][25], the echosounder can calculate the position and size of the target, as well as other relevant information.…”

This article presents a summary of three common false-bottom occurrences in echosounder imaging based on an analysis of echosounder data. Utilizing the imaging principle of the echosounder, a comprehensive analysis was conducted and an explanation of each situation’s causes, imaging characteristics, impacts, and solutions is presented. Additionally, the article includes calculations to determine the precise location of the false bottom, which were subsequently validated through actual data collection. To address the two most impactful false-bottom scenarios in target detection, solutions are proposed from two perspectives. By accurately judging the position and imaging characteristics of these false bottoms, the article concludes with an analysis of the causes of false bottoms and presents corresponding solutions. The article aims to facilitate the rapid identification and elimination of false bottoms, thus mitigating their adverse effects on target detection.
