Shallow-water Bathymetry over Variable Bottom Types Using Multispectral Worldview-2 Image

Image processing techniques that involve multispectral remotely sensed data are considered attractive for bathymetry applications as they provide a timeand cost-effective solution to water depths estimation. In this paper the potential of 8-bands image acquired by Worldview-2 satellite in providing precise depth measurements was investigated. Multispectral image information was integrated with ...

Shallow Water Laser Bathymetry: Accomplishments and Applications

Airbome Laser Bathymetry (ALB) is a technique primarily aimed at augmenting nautical chart production and bathymetric mapping capability in relatively shallow coastal waters. The potential of waterpenetrating airborne laser radar to provide cost effective characterization of underwater topography to depths as great as 50 meters, depending on water clarity, has triggered a number of research and...

Modified Green’s Functions for Shallow Water Acoustic Wave Propagation

This article presents an assessment of alternative forms of the Green’s function for boundary element simulations of acoustic wave propagation in shallow water. It is assumed that the problem is two-dimensional, the source of acoustic disturbance is time-harmonic, the velocity of sound is constant and the medium in the absence of perturbations is quiescent. Efficient implementations of the boun...

Shallow-Water Propagation

(A) For elastic sediments we derived a new PE formulation [1] that unlike any predecessor handles layered environments accurately and efficiently while remaining numerically stable. This formulation, based on different computational variables, can treat range dependent sediments and properly account for energy conservation [2]. We demonstrated additional properties and advantages of the new met...
