Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are therefore provided for producing a 3D image of an underwater environment. An example method for providing an image of an underwater environment includes analyzing sonar returns to identify and display objects, such as fish or debris, in a 3D view. Such an image allows for differentiation between the sea floor and objects in a 3D sonar view. Some example methods provide for real-time tracking of fish. Further, the fish or other objects may be displayed over a continuous surface geometry based on sonar returns from a lake, sea, or river “floor.”

Claim (Index 17):
The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the sonar signal processor, cause the apparatus to:\n generate a 3D image of the cluster that corresponds to the bottom surface of the underwater environment; and generate a 3D image of the underwater environment based on the 3D image of the cluster that corresponds to the bottom surface of the underwater environment and the 3D image of the one or more groups of sonar returns associated with the one or more objects.
