Accurate bathymetric mapping of shallow areas is essential for many offshore activities. Through Structure from Motion (SfM) and Multiview Stereo (MVS) techniques, images can provide a low-cost alternative compared to Lidar...

On 11th January 2012, Google replaced its global bathymetry SRTM30_PLUS V4.0 with the newer version V7.0. This has increased the area of seafloor covered at 1km resolution from 10% to...

In early 2022, EOMAP started mapping the shallow waters of Belize using SDB technology. Parts of these approximately 9,000 square kilometres had never been sufficiently surveyed before. Now, the bathymetry...

The single beam echosounder has come a long way. First developed in the early 20th century in response to the RMS Titanic disaster of 1912, early models used a Fessenden oscillator...

The Norwegian Hydrographic Service (NHS) has and will be utilising airborne LIDAR bathymetry in connection with the ongoing effort to modernise the maritime infrastructure along the Norwegian coast. This article...

This article describes the installation of a hardware and software system for bathymetric surveys in the maritime part of the Congo River. The ‘Regie des Voies Maritimes’ (RVM) is a...

EOMAP has been awarded by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to further develop its physics-based method of mapping the depth of the sea from satellite observations. Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) uses data...

The national land agency in Jamaica has integrated satellite-based hydrography to benefit from time efficiencies, cost savings and improved safety as part of its hydrographic programme in support of the...

India’s National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) has commissioned Fugro to carry out a bathymetric survey along the Andhra Pradesh coast in south-eastern India. The survey will facilitate the Indian...

Scientists from DTU Space, Denmark’s national space research institute, have published a paper that reveals the first Arctic bathymetry map using marine gravity. Previously, the knowledge of the depth and...
