MBES and Laser Scanning data

Progress on processing challenges

Niels WienkeSenior Hydrographic Surveyor

From acquisition to visualisation


Acquisition: high quality data

Processing: softwarevalidationinterpretation

Visualisation: purpose of dataanalyse

Footprints jack-up Eemshaven

AcquisitionMultifunctional survey vessels


Functions:• Bathymetric en geophysical surveys• Combining sensors• Fast Crew tender• Prepared for temporary installation

of additional equipment (OTS/Tow)

Challenge:• Combining functions with the

leastpossible compromises

• Dealing with air

MBES - Dealing with airKongsberg Product Seminar


Dealing with airKongsberg Product Seminar


Dealing with airMARIN - hydrodynamics


LaserscanMobile system on its own platform


LaserscanArgo 8x8 amphibious vehicle


ProcessingSoftware


Capabilities:• Large datafiles – laser: 300.000 pts/s• Validation of data• Analysing data• Visualisation of data

Challenge:How to process the huge amount of data to a useful product

ProcessingSoftware


• Every product needs its own working method!• Combination of different kinds of software• Procedures for specific products• Research and development• Partners

ProcessingSituations


Multibeam• Bathymetric surveys• Stone dumps• Cablelaying and pipelines

Laserscanner• Monitoring breakwaters• Inspections survey• Bridge clearance

Challenge: combining data from different sensors


Multibeam: Kongsberg EM2040


Kongsberg EM2040

Normal mode – 300 kHz


Processing

Cleaning data:

- Manual- Filter methods- Area based editing- CUBE


Processing

CUBE - Combined Uncertainty and Bathymetry Estimator

- Error based model – estimates depth along with a confidance interval- Automatically cleaning most of the data- Generating hypotheses for the operator to review

Error sources and sizes should be known• Systematic errors• Blunders• Uncertainty


CUBE (Fledermaus)


FledermausVisualising Sonar Watercolumn data


Laserscan – bridge clearance



Challenges:• Quality of data – provable• Minimum height - profile

Software• Leica cyclone – check quality, selecting points, profiling• 3D reshaper – processing and polygonal mesh (3D model)

Conclusions

• Every kind of measurement / project needs its own processing method

• Combining software creates a new level of visualisation

• Innovative techniques can help processing• Research and improvements of software is

needed for dedicated situations
