German Project Laserbathymetry 27 May 2014
Content • Aim of the project • Questions to be answered • Organization of the project • Preliminary conclusions Ellmer: German Project
Aim of the project • Not to lose track of important actual developments • How much money do I need for surveying the relevant areas • Many questions in detail: • Which areas are relevant for laserbathymetry? • Where is laserbathymetry cheaper than shipborne measurements? Ellmer: German Project
Questions to be answered • Hydrographic Surveying in shallow areas • Role of environment (visibility, sea grass,…) • How deep is it possible? • Surveying in shallow lagoons (backwater) • … Ellmer: German Project
Questions to be answered • Wreck Search • Objects of 2m size (IHO S-44)? Which size is certainly detectable • Is detectable size depth dependent? Ellmer: German Project
Questions to be answered • Coastline • Possible to determine a DTM (1m until -1m)? And to detect 0-m-line? • What about data gaps in very shallow water? Ellmer: German Project
Questions to be answered • Call for tenders • Possible flight parameters for all purposes (DTM, wreck search, coastline)? • What has to be considered when writing a call • How to calculate a price for budget planning? • § Ellmer: German Project
Organization of the project • Overview • 3 years project 2012 - 2014 • Scientific Cooperation • Leibnitz Universität Hannover • 1 scientist • 3 flights autumn 2012, 2013, spring 2014 • Frequent meetings with different interested organizations • HO and university • Water and shipping administration (federal) • Coastal protection (states) • Navy (federal) • Land survey (states) Ellmer: German Project
Organization of the project • 2012 • Request for high resolution • Milan with Riegl VQ820G • 3 heights (500m, 700m, 300m) Ellmer: German Project
Organization of the project • 2013 • Request for high resolution plus deeper penetration • AHAB/TopScan with Chiroptera / HawkEye II • September 2013 • Addition of artificial reefs Ellmer: German Project
Organization of the project • 2013 • Request for high resolution plus deeper penetration • AHAB/TopScan with Chiroptera / HawkEye II • September 2013 • Addition of artificial reefs Ellmer: German Project
Organization of the project • 2014 • Request for high resolution plus deeper penetration • AHAB/Aerodata with Hawkeye III • Flight in April 2014 with Chiroptera • Additional flight with Hawkeye III in autumn Ellmer: German Project
Organization of the project • 2013 + 2014 • Addition of artificial reefs Ellmer: German Project
Organization of the project • Riff Nienhagen • Artificial reefs • Good for checking the accuracy • Located close to Rostock • Accurately surveyed by multibeam • reefs Ellmer: German Project
Preliminary conclusions • 3 flights • Much information • Easier to collect data than to process all information • Evaluation 2013 is not finished • Processing 2014 just started • Conclusions at this time very rough Ellmer: German Project
Preliminary conclusions • Very preliminary • Accuracy not the main problem • Dependent on careful processing • How to check the carefulness? Ellmer: German Project
Preliminary conclusions • Data gaps • Data very inhomogeneous • From >5 points/m² to >5 m²/point • Gaps even in shallow areas • Still to develop: Which density is too low for S-44? Ellmer: German Project
Preliminary conclusions • Wrecks, Obstructions • At this time not reliable to detect • Riff Rosenort data from Chiroptera 2013 Ellmer: German Project
Preliminary conclusions • Résumé: • LIDAR is a very interesting development for shallow waters; • Traditional methods have disadvantages in shallow areas: • Single-beam data provide too large gaps in-between; • Multi-beam surveys need too many survey lines; • LIDAR does not provide an alternative but a complement; • Combination of land and sea data becomes more important • A wider scope of the use and users of the data is necessary: • Not only safety at Sea (nautical charting) • Not only coastal protection • This is in line with the Theme for World Hydrography Day 2014: • Hydrography – much more than nautical charting Ellmer: German Project
