Optech at Oceanology International 2010

  05/03/2010
Optech will be exhibiting its hardware and software at Stand D500 at Oceanology International 2010 in London, England, from 9th to 11th March. Optech will present a spectacular 3D display of seafloor reflectance images, hyperspectral data, and seafloor classification maps. The maps are based on data collected by Optech's SHOALS airborne lidar bathymeter, and processed by Optech's proprietary Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) software.

 

Optech ILRISREA is the only image processing software to provide coastal environmental information by fusing airborne lidar and hyperspectral data. SHOALS systems are used by mapping agencies and survey companies to gather shallow water, shoreline and topographic (ground elevation) data simultaneously, integrating land and water measurements in the same data set. Depth and position measurements are accurate to IHO Order 1.

 

Also on display will be the ILRIS MC laser scanner for coastal mapping. When integrated with an INS, ILRIS delivers geo-referenced data sets for shoreline mapping, harbor entrance mapping and navigation obstacle recognition.

Hydrographic Survey for Riverbed Erosion

 

U.S. Geological Survey were out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyzes the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed. 

Gage height at the Williston gage was approximately 27.65 feet when this video was taken. Additional information about the USGS streamgage at Williston is available at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nd/nwis?program=nwisman&site_no=06330000
