Does rover take into account roll on proximity sensors?

I am looking to fit some proximity sensors to a boat and the thought occurs to me that when the boat rolls over itโ€™s going to detect the surface of the water, so is there any way to compensate for that?

would using a larger minimum distance work so it doesnt show up the water at very short ranges when the boat rolls.

If your using LiDAR it takes care of itself. Thereโ€™s no return as the light is absorbed by water. Or thatโ€™s what I think should happen. When scanning aerial LiDAR, I get next to nothing lol.

good to know thank you!

Iโ€™ve got a SF45/B Iโ€™ve been using a on a large copter that scans with a Phoenixlidar unit. Keeps me from hitting trees lol. I was going to try it on the boat. Weโ€™ll see how it goes.

Looking forward to your results, im going to put a forward looking RADAR on it eventually, but I will probably put a TFmini plus LIDAR in front it for testing then move them to the left and right positions when the radar is installed.
