Modeling Research and Analysis of Multibeam Bathymetric Systems

Abstract

This paper conducted research on the application of multi beam measurement system for underwater detection. Firstly, a mathematical model was established and determined for the coverage width of multi beam bathymetry and the overlap rate between adjacent bands; Secondly, based on the rectangular sea area to be measured, a mathematical model for the coverage width of multi beam bathymetry was established. Finally, in order to meet the requirement of 10% to 20% overlap between adjacent bands, a set of survey lines with the shortest measurement length and capable of fully covering the entire sea area to be measured was further studied and designed.
