Comparison of laser bathymetry with single-beam and multibeam data
This article summarises a Master Thesis devoted to the task of evaluating the LIDAR bathymetric systems of Chiroptera and Hawkeye developed by the Swedish company AHAB. The LIDAR bathymetric data was compared against two reference data sets, single-beam and multibeam echo sounder data, which were evaluated beforehand in order to avoid any bias in the comparison. Different comparisons were made over the data to obtain the inner precision, outer accuracies as well as wreck search abilities of the systems under analysis. The reference used for classifying the systems on a specific performance level was the IHO S-44 standard.
