Abstract

Seabed sediment volume computations using single beam echo sounder with dual frequencies based on different interpolation methods

Highlights

  • Specifications about the marine environment should be understood accurately to carry out several studies on marine life such as about marine geology and biology and coastal engineering applications

  • This study aims to examine and compare the interpolation methods under different grid sizes used for terrain modelling in order to compute the seabed sediment volume accurately

Summary

Introduction

Specifications about the marine environment should be understood accurately to carry out several studies on marine life such as about marine geology and biology and coastal engineering applications. Generated seafloor topography for several marine and marine related activities such as marine geology, commercial fishing, offshore oil prospecting and drilling, cable and pipeline laying and maintenance, and underwater warfare, may be ensured by tools and methods, which are remotely controlled (Hellequin et al, 2003). Among these tools and methods, acoustic remotely sensing techniques represent effective and efficient solutions in terms of capacity of coverage and budget considering collecting sample data of the seafloor for seabed characterization (Siemes et al, 2010).
