Study on processing of multibeam backscatter data

A new high precise source of data has recently become available using multibeam sonar systems in hydrography.The multibeam sonar systems can provide hydrographic quality depth data as well as high-resolution seafloor sonar images.The seafloor backscatter strength data of each beam are utilized from the multibeam sonar and the automatic classification technology,so that the seafloor type identification maps can be got.To analyze all kinds of...
