  • Hard-Soft Seafloor Classification, 5m (Simrad) - Tutuila, American Samoa

    Metadata Updated: November 12, 2020

    Preliminary hard and soft seafloor substrate map derived from an unsupervised classification of multibeam backscatter and bathymety derivatives at Tutuila Island, American Samoa, South Pacific. The dataset was derived using a combination of Simrad em3002d backscatter, bathymetric variance, and bathymetric rugosity. The sonar frequencies was 300 kHz and all data were resampled to 5 m grid cell size prior to the classification. Initial supervised classifications of the backscatter data into hard and soft seafloor substrates, using seafloor photographs for groundtruthing and to define regions of interest, were used to define unsupervised class types and to visually evaluate the accuracy of the unsupervised classification seafloor substrate map.
