A proposed field validation campaign for CZMIL

摘要

Upon the completion of the prototype CZMIL by Optech International, the University of Southern Mississippi willconduct a field validation campaign of the system in various environments to evaluate the accuracy of the sensors andthe products derived from the data of those sensors, individually or combined. In addition to the IHO order 1 vertical andhorizontal accuracy assessment of the CZMIL, the effectiveness of the DPS algorithms to map environmental parameterswill be tested and estimated. This paper presents a preliminary campaign plan to realize the positional and thematicaccuracy assessments. To support these efforts, an array of in-situ sensors will be deployed on land and at sea, prior toand during the CZMIL survey, to obtain a full environmental characterization of the survey site. This program willidentify the materials and methodology for each selected environment to create a standardized field survey procedure.
