A fast, simple method is presented to obtain acoustic seabed segmentation from multibeam
sonar backscatter data, for situations where processed backscatter curves are already …

Bathymetric mapping is traditionally implemented using shipborne single-beam, multi-beam,
and side-scan sonar sensors. Procuring bathymetric data near coastlines using shipborne …

The aim of this study was to develop and examine the use of backscatter data collected with
multibeam sonar (MBS) systems for benthic habitat mapping. Backscatter data were …

Seabed images, from multibeam hydrographic systems or from single or multibeam
sidescans, convey a lot of information about seabed type. Statistical processing of portions …

Methods for processing multibeam echo-sounder (MBES) bathymetry data are well
established, however, there is no universal and established approach to processing and …

Acoustic methods for seafloor mapping have been widely developed over the last decades.
In particular, the development of swath bathymetry has allowed the creation of detailed …

The method described attempts to remotely identify the shape of an anthropogenic object,
such as a wreck of a modern vessel, using reflectivity data from Multi-Beam Echosounder …

Spatial information on the distribution of seabed substrate types in high use coastal areas is
essential to support their effective management and environmental monitoring. For Darwin …

Backscatter measurements collected with high-frequency multibeam echo-sounders (MBES)
have been used to map the spatial distribution of seafloor types and properties in shallow …

An understanding of seafloor properties and processes is essential for the solution of many
problems in underwater acoustics where acoustic–seafloor interactions dominate. This …
