Shallow-Water Survey Efficiency Using Swath Bathymetry

摘要

For years,it has been difficult to complete 100 percent coverage surveys efficiently in shallow water,especially under challenging conditions.These hydrographic surveys have typically been limited to less coverage,using single-beam bathymetric systems or multi-beam systems augmented with side scan sonar.However,recent advances in the performance of wide swath bathymetry systems can offer significant advantages in survey efficiency.
