Towards Adaptive Benthic Habitat Mapping

Jackson Shields,Oscar Pizarro,Stefan B. Williams,Jackson Shields,Oscar Pizarro,Stefan B. Williams

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are increasingly being used to support scientific research and monitoring studies. One such application is in benthic habitat mapping where these vehicles collect seafloor imagery that complements broadscale bathymetric data collected using sonar. Using these two data sources, the relationship between remotely-sensed acoustic data and the sampled imagery can b...
