Conventional sediment classification methods based on Multibeam Echo System (MBES) data have low accuracy since the correlation between features and sediment has not been fully considered. Moreover, their poor resistance to the residual error of MBES bac...

The modern discrimination of sediment is based on acoustic intensity (backscatter) information from high-resolution multibeam echo-sounder systems (MBES). The backscattering intensity, varying with the angle of incidence, reveals the characteristics of s...

The anthropogenic impact in the German Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is high due to the presence of manifold industries (e.g., wind farms, shipping, and fishery). Therefore, it is of great importance to evaluate the different impacts of such industries, ...

In 2017, the New South Wales (NSW) Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) initiated a state-wide mapping program, SeaBed NSW, which systematically acquires high-resolution (2?5 m cell size) multibeam echosounder (MBES) and marine LiDAR data along more ...

Three experiments were conducted in the Belgian part of the North Sea to investigate short-term variation in seafloor backscatter strength (BS) obtained with multibeam echosounders (MBES). Measurements were acquired on predominantly gravelly (offshore) a...
