High-frequency multibeam echo-sounder measurements of seafloor backscatter in shallow water: Part 1 – Data acquisition and processing
Methods for processing multibeam echo-sounder (MBES) bathymetry data are well established, however, there is no universal and established approach to processing and interpretation of MBES backscatter data. The aim of this paper is to (1) detail the different backscatter logging methods implemented in modern high-frequency MBES systems used primarily in shallow water; (2) describe and suggest ap...
متن کاملSAR Processing of Radar Echo Sounder Data
In 1991, NASA initiated a research program for testing airborne laser and radar altimeters for measuring surface elevation of the Greenland ice sheet in conjunction with a coordinated set of surface measurements for validating and interpreting satellite data sets. In 1993, the airborne program was expanded to include the University of Kansas airborne radio echo sounder for acquiring ice thickne...
متن کاملAn inter-comparison of sediment classification methods based on multi-beam echo-sounder backscatter and sediment natural radioactivity data.
This contribution presents sediment classification results derived from different sources of data collected at the Dordtse Kil river, the Netherlands. The first source is a multi-beam echo-sounder (MBES). The second source is measurements taken with a gamma-ray scintillation detector, i.e., the Multi-Element Detection System for Underwater Sediment Activity (Medusa), towed over the sediments an...
متن کاملAutomatic Statistical Processing of Multibeam Echosounder Data
This paper presents the CUBE (Combined Uncertainty and Bathymetry Estimator) algorithm. Our aim is to take advantage of statistical redundancy in dense Multibeam Echosounder data to identify outliers while tracking the uncertainty associated with the estimates that we make of the true depth in the survey area. We recognize that a completely automatic system is improbable, but propose that signi...
متن کاملMultiscale Terrain Analysis of Multibeam Bathymetry Data for Habitat Mapping on the Continental Slope
Multibeam surveys can provide detailed bathymetry data for the continental slope from which quantitative descriptors of the seabed terrain (e.g., slope) may be obtained. We illustrate the value of these descriptors for benthic habitat mapping, and highlight the advantages of multiscale analysis. We examine the application of these descriptors as predictor variables for species distribution mode...
