Underwater acoustic technologies may be used for remote sensing of estuarine and coastal benthic habitat in addition to more traditional methods of assessing the seabed. These systems use reflected sound energy to identify surface objects, texture, and subbottom density discontinuities, and to classify benthic habitat. We evaluated the ability of subbottom profiling systems, side scan sonar, and acoustic seabed classification systems (ASCS) to assess oyster habitat in the Chesapeake Bay. Our criteria were the systems' abilities to assess the quality and quantity of oyster shell resources and to integrate with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technology for the charting of the seabed. Although all systems examined have previously been used for benthic habitat assessment, we found that ASCS offered the most promise as a stand alone system for mapping complex and heterogeneous habitat typical of oyster bottoms. The results from this study suggest that ASCS technology is highly suited for the identification and charting of oyster shell as well as distinguishing among different combinations of shell and fine sediments. Such systems also offer excellent linkage with GIS display and analysis capability. 相似文献

This work presents the first exhaustive study of the entire surface of the Reunion Island volcanic system. The focus is on
the submarine part, for which a compilation of all multibeam data collected during the last 20 years has been made. Different
types of submarine features have been identified: a coastal shelf, debris avalanches and sedimentary deposits, erosion canyons,
volcanic constructions near the coast, and seamounts offshore. Criteria have been defined to differentiate the types of surfaces
and to establish their relative chronology where possible. Debris avalanche deposits are by far the most extensive and voluminous
formations in the submarine domain. They have built four huge Submarine Bulges to the east, north, west, and south of the
island. They form fans 20–30 km wide at the coastline and 100–150 km wide at their ends, 70–80 km offshore. They were built
gradually by the superimposition and/or juxtaposition of products moved during landslide episodes, involving up to several
hundred cubic kilometers of material. About 50 individual events deposits can be recognized at the surface. The landslides
have recurrently dismantled Piton des Neiges, Les Alizés, and Piton de La Fournaise volcanoes since 2 Ma. About one third
are interpreted as secondary landslides, affecting previously emplaced debris avalanche deposits. On land, landslide deposits
are observed in the extensively eroded central area of Piton des Neiges and in its coastal areas. Analysis of the present-day
topography and of geology allows us to identify presumed faults and scars of previous large landslides. The Submarine Bulges
are dissected and bound by canyons up to 200 m deep and 40 km long, filled with coarse-grained sediments, and generally connected
to streams onshore. A large zone of sedimentary accumulation exists to the north–east of the island. It covers a zone 20 km
in width, extending up to 15 km offshore. Volcanic constructions are observed near the coast on both Piton des Neiges and
Piton de la Fournaise volcanoes and are continuations of subaerial structures. Individual seamounts are present on the submarine
flanks and the surrounding ocean floor. A few seem to be young volcanoes, but the majority are probably old, eroded seamounts.
This study suggests a larger scale and frequency of mass-wasting events on Reunion Island compared to similar islands. The
virtual absence of downward flexure of the lithosphere beneath the island probably contributes to this feature. The increased
number of known flank–failure events has to be taken into consideration when assessing hazards from future landslides, in
particular, the probability of landslide-generated tsunamis.

Sonar image segmentation based on GMRF and level-set models 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We propose two new level-set models to address the segmentation problem in sonar images. Local texture features, extracted using the Gauss-Markov random field model, are integrated into level-set energy functions to dynamically select regions of interest. Then, new two-phase level-set and multiphase level-set models are obtained by minimizing each new energy function, and the selection of model parameters is analyzed. The proposed models do not require re-initialization, which is usually a very costly procedure. Segmentation experiments on both synthetic and real sonar images show that the proposed two level-set models are accurate and robust when they are applied to noisy sonar images. 相似文献

A novel scanning technique using a rotating-head sonar profiler attached to a slider mechanism is presented as a means to directly measure the complex erosion and deposition features of local scour holes developing in clear-water conditions around vertical cylinders mimicking bridge piers.Extensive validation shows that the method produces high-density elevation surfaces to within≌1.5±2 mm accuracy in a quasi-non-invasive manner.This equates to 0.5±0.7% relative to the flow depth which sonar resolution is well known to scale with.Experimental data from three trials using different cylinder diameters indicate that monitoring of the entire scour hole over time(instead of only the maximum depth as is commonly done in laboratory experiments) can reveal important information about local scour evolution.In particular,results show that the scour-hole volume scales with the maximum scour depth cubed(V_(OL)-y_S~3) through three linear regimes.The transition to the third linear regime was found to represent a step change in the scour evolution process.Following the recent theoretical framework proposed by Manes and Brocchini(2015),this change,termed the crossover point,was interpreted as the point where the production of turbulent kinetic energy plateaus which corresponds to a stabilization in the erosive power of the horseshoe vortex.Scour development beyond the crossover point is characterised by a significant reduction in the rate of volumetric scour,relative to the steadily-increasing maximum scour depth.This overall reduction in volume-development is attributed to a balance between erosion from in-front of the pier and deposition around the sides using topography analysis.It is speculated that the existence of the crossover point may help to identify the characteristic length and time scales describing the evolution of local scour,which may be used for modeling purposes. 相似文献

The information content of flood extent maps can be increased considerably by including information on the uncertainty of the flood area delineation. This additional information can be of benefit in flood forecasting and monitoring. Furthermore, flood probability maps can be converted to binary maps showing flooded and non-flooded areas by applying a threshold probability value pF = 0.5. In this study, a probabilistic change detection approach for flood mapping based on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) time series is proposed. For this purpose, conditional probability density functions (PDFs) for land and open water surfaces were estimated from ENVISAT ASAR Wide Swath (WS) time series containing >600 images using a reference mask of permanent water bodies. A pixel-wise harmonic model was used to account for seasonality in backscatter from land areas caused by soil moisture and vegetation dynamics. The approach was evaluated for a large-scale flood event along the River Severn, United Kingdom. The retrieved flood probability maps were compared to a reference flood mask derived from high-resolution aerial imagery by means of reliability diagrams. The obtained performance measures indicate both high reliability and confidence although there was a slight under-estimation of the flood extent, which may in part be attributed to topographically induced radar shadows along the edges of the floodplain. Furthermore, the results highlight the importance of local incidence angle for the separability between flooded and non-flooded areas as specular reflection properties of open water surfaces increase with a more oblique viewing geometry. 相似文献

High-resolution multibeam swath-bathymetry and sediment samples were collected across the outer shelf region of the Columbretes Islands (southern Ebro continental shelf, western Mediterranean Sea). Bathymetric data from the submerged part of the Columbretes volcanic system revealed the presence of three main relict sand bodies along the outer shelf, at 80–116 m depth range, above which asymmetric and slightly asymmetric large and very large 2D and 3D subaqueous dunes were observed. These bed features were recognized, mapped and quantified with the aim of evaluating their potential formation mechanisms in relation to the local hydrodynamic and morphologic settings of the area. Dunes range from 150 to 760 m in wavelength and from tens of centimeters to 3 m in height, and are among the longest ever recognized in an outer shelf region. These bedforms are mostly composed of medium-sized sandy sediments, presumably coming from the degraded relict sand bodies on top of which they have developed, mixed with fine fractions from the recent draping holocenic sediments. The orientation of the dunes is SSW, progressively turning W towards the southernmost sector of the area, following the trend of the shelf-edge. Contemporary hydrodynamic measurements at the Ebro continental shelf-edge show that recorded currents are insufficient to form the observed bedforms and that stronger currents are required for sediment mobilization and dune formation. Based on their morphology and orientation, it is proposed that these bedforms are produced by the action of the southward-flowing Liguro-Provençal-Catalan (LPC) geostrophic current. The LPC probably reaches high near-bottom currents during energetic hydrodynamic events through interactions with the seafloor morphology of the study area. Subaqueous dunes are expected to be basically inactive features with respect to present-day processes, although they can be reactivated during high-energy events. The small Δh/λ ratio measured in the dune fields of the Columbretes shelf revealed that the dune heights fall below the values predicted by the Flemming (1988) global equation, as observed in other outer shelf settings also dominated by unidirectional flows. This may suggest a different morphodynamic character of large dunes formed on outer shelves in a micro-tidal regime. 相似文献
