1 Definition
A Data Type representing analogue signals captured by an ultrasonic sensor.
2 Functional Requirements
An active time-of-flight sensor typically operating in the 40 kHz to 250 kHz range.
The main features of Ultrasound are:
- Can monitor the immediate surroundings of the vehicle (≤ 10 m).
- Produces low-resolution images.
