Detection of Stones in Marine Habitats Combining Simultaneous Hydroacoustic Surveys

Detection of Stones in Marine Habitats Combining Simultaneous Hydroacoustic Surveys

Exposed stones in sandy sublittoral environments are hotspots for marine biodiversity, especially for benthic communities. The detection of single stones is principally possible using sidescan-sonar (SSS) backscatter data. The data resolution has to be high to visualize the acoustic shadows of the s...
