  • System and method for calibration of echo sounding systems and improved seafloor imaging using such systems
    Patent number: 10359508
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for increasing the resolvability of an echo sounding system by acquiring multiple survey lines under one or more different conditions to produce overlapping swaths of seafloor data. The difference conditions may include one or more of acquiring the survey lines along adjacent paths that are offset by less than a swath width, acquiring survey lines at different headings, and acquiring survey lines at different speeds.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 13, 2017
    Date of Patent: July 23, 2019

  • System and method for calibration of echo sounding systems and improved seafloor imaging using such systems
    Patent number: 9772400
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for visualizing an offset in static parameters in an echo sounding system by generating a difference grid by subtracting a first survey line from a second survey line to determine difference values at each point in the grid; and displaying the difference grid on a display device, where the difference values are represented on a visual scale. The difference values may be used to calibrate the echo sounding system or check the quality of the calibration of an echo sounding system.
