Multibeam Sonar Advantages

Precision Data from Surface to Seafl oor

THE TECHNOLOGY

Multibeam Sonar is the latest marine technology to be used by hydrographers to generate precise seafl oor mapping data. It is an invaluable datagathering tool used in marine environments that vary from shallow silted estuaries to active and rapidly changing coastal regions. High frequency multibeam sonar systems are primarily used for shallow water operations where full seafl oor coverage is required. Low frequency units are more suited to deep water mapping applications.

Today’s sophisticated multibeam echo sounding technology, combined with advanced computing systems, has enabled hydrographic surveying to be undertaken with extreme accuracy.

Multibean sonar generates two types of data:

• Bathymetry – data which depicts the relief of the seafl oor illustrating ridges, trenches etc, used to generate accurate elevation information

• Backscatter – data that provides information on the geological composition of the seafl oor, such as silt, sand and rock etc.

Data produced using multibeam sonar technology enable hydrographers and other users to visualize the seabed in precise detail. Multibeam sonar data is collected in straight lines using transducers that continually broadcast sonar beams in a swath or fan-shaped pattern. The precisely angled beams produce depth soundings which can be transmitted at a rate of up to 3000 per second.

Depending on the type of system in use, the width covered by the swath can be as much as seven times the depth of the water.

THE APPLICATION

The system’s high-resolution accuracy has allowed it to be used for seafl oor topography, composition and substrate stability. Typical multibeam sonar applications include:

• Dredging surveys for channel deepening

• operations

• Seafl oor morphology and sediment texture

•

• determination

• Marine archeological studies

• Sub-surface landslide mapping

•

• • Underwater scientifi c and research planning

• Hydrographic Digital Terrain Modeling

•

(DTM) for coastal erosion control

• Oceanographic modeling for fi sheries research

•

• • Benthic habitat mapping

• Planning and deployment of submarine fi ber optic cable

Multibeam Sonar Advantages

THE ADVANTAGE

Hull-mounted multibeam sonar systems are precisely georeferenced with a GPS/Inertial navigation system, such as the Applanix POS

MV. The POS MV is designed to compute vessel position, velocity, attitude, and heave, together with acceleration and angular rate vectors. This information is integrated with the multibeam echo soundings as motion compensation data, to eliminate the effects of vessel movement, and provide accurate position and orientation information.

Multibeam sonar - an essential tool for improved decision making to better understand our ocean resources

The core of the POS MV is a strapdown inertial navigation system which generates an accurate and robust position solution. Unlike conventional motion sensors (vertical gyros), POS MV will maintain accuracy under the most severe conditions regardless of platform dynamics.

Multibeam Sonar Applications

Fugro Pelagos is a world leader in providing reliable and innovative solutions to the offshore oil and gas industry, which include a variety of tasks from high-precision rig positioning for oil exploration, to delivering preliminary seismic survey data, and pipeline inspections. The company operates in all the major offshore exploration areas with over 30 locations worldwide.

CHALLENGE

One of the areas in which Fugro Pelagos has been undertaking marine operations, is off the coast of

Alaska, from northwest of the Aleutian Islands to as far east as Glacier Bay. The operations vary from hydrographic surveys to tidal studies, and for various organizations interested in fi sh harvesting and offshore exploration. Despite having access to the latest motion sensor marine technology, the company was having diffi culty maintaining heave accuracy in the unpredictable sea conditions along the Alaskan Coast. Doug Lockhart explains,

"The marine survey environment is extremely challenging. Long period waves with continuously variable swells in both period and amplitude can play havoc with just about any motion sensor."

SOLUTION

Fugro quickly saw the solution. By implementing

Applanix TrueHeave technology with their existing POS MV system, they could very effectively improve their heave precision, with the added bonus of reducing heave artifacts at the same time. TrueHeave is based on an advanced processing algorithm, which uses both past and present vertical motion data, to compute a signifi cantly improved heave estimate. The POS

MV has suffi cient computational speed to utilize a two-sided fi lter, which allows a secondary estimate of heave to be generated shortly after the sonar acquisition event.

Client: Fugro Pelagos

Multibeam Sonar Applications Client: Fugro Pelagos

RESULT

The new system with TrueHeave installed was used operationally for the fi rst time in 2003, when the company undertook a hydrographic survey for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration (NOAA). Describing the results

Doug Lockhart said, "In analyzing the data profi les we could immediately see an improvement in heave accuracy of about 20cm, which was substantial. We effectively improved the error budget from IHO Order 1 to IHO Special Order, an impressive feat given the sea state at the time of the survey." fi lter settling time as compared to a traditional heave fi lter, which almost completely eliminates the need for line run-ins. This can translate into savings of hours or even days worth of labour and vessel costs.

In addition to improving the quality of their data, Fugro were able to take advantage of the reduction in heave artifacts generated with the new system. This allowed for a signifi cant reduction in time and operational expense. TrueHeave dramatically reduces

“TrueHeave effectively improved our error budget from IHO Order 1 to

IHO Special Order"

TrueHeave Advantages

TrueHeave Technology - Software Precision and Accuracy with no compromise

In re-affi rming its position as the provider of leading edge motion sensor systems, Applanix has redefi ned the accuracy and reliability of heave data by introducing TrueHeave technology. Using new heave processing algorithms, TrueHeave now enables heave data to meet and exceed the highest marine industry standards. have suffi cient computational speed to generate the secondary estimate of heave shortly after the initial sonar acquisition event.

POS MV WITH TRUEHEAVE

TrueHeave has overcome the conventional limitations of current motion system technology by fi ltering real-time data to remove phase errors and provide extremely accurate amplitude information. Based on an advanced two-sided fi ltering technique, TrueHeave technology uses both past and present vertical motion to compute a signifi cantly improved heave estimate.

POS MV systems equipped with TrueHeave

Delayed time heave output not only removes many of the compromises that must be made in real-time, but also provides near real-time QC of heave performance. This can be seen in the time series plots of both real-time and TrueHeave estimates, which allow the operator to react accordingly if a divergence between the two is observed.

PERFORMANCE AND RESULTS

The following panels illustrate sun illuminated data sets of a number of passes along the same line, using real-time heave and TrueHeave technology.

The lower image shows red and yellow profi les of a single line (within the yellow boxes depicted

TrueHeave Advantages

in the upper panel) which was running with the sea, inducing a long relative swell. The red profi le was produced using TrueHeave, the yellow profi le generated with real-time heave. The depth difference between the two lines is approximately

20cm, at the point indicated by the dashed orange line, which is a substantial improvement in heave accuracy. Heave artifacts are dramatically reduced under the most challenging conditions, including long-period motion, variable swells, and turninduced heave period changes. Regardless of the sea conditions and vessel dynamics, TrueHeave will provide optimal results with outstanding performance.

COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION

By utilizing TrueHeave software, the reduction in fi lter settling time can eliminate the requirement for survey line run-ins. This can increase your operational capability and bring down operational costs.
