Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
obtaining initial parameters for one or more ultrasonic transducers around a calibration target, wherein the calibration target includes:
a fish-shaped structure;
sensors placed at different locations on the fish-shaped structure,
wherein each of the sensors sense energy at a respective location of the fish-shaped structure;

a processor that receives sensor values from the sensors; and
a transmitter that outputs sensor data from the calibration target based on the sensor values,
wherein the calibration target is fixed at a particular position relative to the one or more ultrasonic transducers by a filament coupled to both the calibration target and a support structure;

obtaining the sensor data from the calibration target at the particular position relative to the one or more ultrasonic transducers;
determining the respective locations of the sensors; and
determining adjusted parameters for the one or more ultrasonic transducers around the calibration target based on the sensor data and the respective locations of the sensors.
