Vehicles such as cars, mobility scooters, wheelchairs, and the like are becoming partially or fully automated (i.e. equipped with driver-assist technologies or completely self-driving technologies). These technologies rely heavily on sensors such as vision (cameras), radar, sonar, etc.. In this paper, we propose the use of autonomous craft (e.g. “drones”) for scientific meta-measurement, i.e. specifically sensing-of-sensors and sensing their capacity to sense (metasensing). In particular, we show how a drone can be used to characterize a sonar sensing device. Sonar sensing devices are often used on autonomous vehicles. Our two main contributions are: (1) the use of drones for the sensing of acoustic sensors (e.g. sonar transducers), and (2) minimizing the metasensing flight paths by following phase contours (i.e. vector scanning rather than raster scanning), so that a small number of flights can provide meaningful insight into the characteristics of an acoustic sensor.
