Airborne lidar bathymetry

K. Muirhead, A. P. Cracknell

Open publisher page 116 citations

Abstract

Through an extensive literature review the results of previous lidar investigations in Australia, Canada, Sweden, the U.S.A. and West Germany have been evaluated. Based on these findings estimates are given for the anticipated depth capability, measurement accuracy and operational constraints for a laser system in U.K. waters. Consideration is also given to the possibility of deploying a depth-sounding lidar for non-bathymetric purposes such as depth-resolved turbidity mapping.
