Integrating multibeam backscatter angular response, mosaic and bathymetry data for benthic habitat mapping.

Multibeam echosounders (MBES) are increasingly becoming the tool of choice for marine habitat mapping applications. In turn, the rapid expansion of habitat mapping studies has resulted in a need for automated classification techniques to efficiently map benthic habitats, assess confidence in model o...
