Automatic Seabed Classification to Further Enhance
Geophysical Survey Tasks

Our latest advancement for the geophysical industry, Seabed
Classification is integrated within our industry proven Survey
Engine to provide automated seabed classification. This
module uses artificial intelligence (AI) based methods to detect
and classify seabeds in both type and geographic extent from
sidescan sonar data. The extent boundaries are instantly visible
to the user for validation and QC and can then be exported for use
in chart and map generation, direct import to the users chosen
GIS platform, or for further processing in Survey Engine.

The boundary generation process automatically creates nodes in a
way that avoids any gaps between adjacent seabed types which is
vital for contiguous segmentation and reporting. Our soware also
displays closed boundary areas as coloured polygons helping to
identify and distinguish these seabed types, particularly useful to
visualize those areas completely surrounded by other seabed types.

With this new fully automated Seabed Classification soware, our
users can now save valuable interpretation and reporting time
when generating charts or maps in support of their geophysical
survey projects. Ideal geophysical survey applications include site
and geohazard investigation in support of pipelay, jacket and riser
installation or subsea cable laying operations. For example, ripples in
the seabed that alert operators to strong and potentially dangerous
currents, can now be more quickly and more repeatably identified for
better decision making.

Environmental applications will greatly benefit from the automated
classification over large area surveys of diering and varied seabed
types.

Features

Automatic Seabed Classification

quick and accurate identification of seabed types on SSS data.

Editable output polygons

identified seabeds areas are written as Survey Engine interpretation types and can be edited and customised.

Generation of reports in multiple formats

including ASCII Test Format, HTML, Microso Excel Worksheet, and XML.

Tiled input images from mosaic

large mosaic areas are automatically tiled for analysis on the soware making the process scalable.

No data subsampling compromises

view your data at the full acquisition resolution and beyond for enhanced feature interpretation.

Supports very large projects

import many thousands of line kilometers into a single project.

6 Dierent seabed types

the beta version initially includes six types: low amplitude sediment, high amplitude sediment, mixed sediment,
ripples, bedrock and boulder fields.

Mosaic survey line transparency

full support for full and partial survey line transparency within the mosaic to produce superior quality mosaics.

Improved mosaic navigation performance

with the use of an increased number of zoom layers that improve the overall performance of navigation.

Large choice of output formats

extremely high resolution mosaic images can be exported in GEOTIFF format and interpretation exported in GIS,
CAD, Excel, or ASCII.

Support for Seabed Survey Data Model (SSDM)

from data file through to GIS in a seamless transition.

Coloured GIS visualization of areas

semi-transparent polygons enclosing seabed areas are coloured over the mosaic for easy identification.

GIS Overview

shows the track of every line in the survey.

User configurable interpretation types

with ability to share between projects.
