Optimizing Resolution and Uncertainty in Bathymetric Sonar Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Bathymetric sonar systems (whether multibeam or phase-differencing sidescan) contain an inherent trade-off between resolution and uncertainty. Systems are traditionally designed with a fixed spatial resolution, and the parameter settings are optimized to

Analysis of three selected automated multibeam bathymetric filters in BeamWorX AutoClean Software

open access: yesNova Geodesia
The increasing volume of bathymetric data acquisition, driven by citizen science initiatives and advancements in hydrographic survey technologies, particularly multibeam and LiDAR sensors, necessitates automated data-cleaning procedures.

The value of remote sensing techniques in supporting effective extrapolation across multiple marine spatial scales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The reporting of ecological phenomena and environmental status routinely required point observations, collected with traditional sampling approaches to be extrapolated to larger reporting scales.

Multisource Mapping of Lagoon Bathymetry for Hydrodynamic Models and Decision-Support Spatial Tools: The Case of the Gambier Islands in French Polynesia

open access: yesGeomatics
Precise lagoon bathymetry remains scarcely available for most tropical islands despite its importance for navigation, resource assessment, spatial planning, and numerical hydrodynamic modeling.

The use of multibeam sonar mapping techniques to refine population estimates of the endangered white abalone (Haliotis sorenseni) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Multibeam sonar mapping techniques provide detailed benthic habitat information that can be combined with the data on species-specific habitat preferences to provide highly accurate calculations of populations in a particular area. The amount of suitable

Automatic Detection of Outliers in Multibeam Echo Sounding Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The data volumes produced by new generation multibeam systems are very large, especially for shallow water systems. Results from recent multibeam surveys indicate that the ratio of the field survey time, to the time used in interactive editing through ...

Analysis of Data Relevant to Establishing Outer Limits of a Continental Shelf under Law of the Sea Article 76 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Coastal states may extend the limits of their juridically defined continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles from their baselines under the provisions set forth in Article 76 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

Developing an acceptance test for non-hydrographic airborne bathymetric lidar data application to NOAA charts in shallow waters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Hydrographic data of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are typically acquired using sonar systems, with a small percent acquired via airborne lidar bathymetry for nearshore areas.
