HABITAT CLASSIFICATION



Based on advanced digital signal processing technology, modern electronics are able to differentiate between different types of bottom substrate.

As a distributor for the RoxAnntm bottom classification system, Western Subsea uses this simple to operate system to classify subsea habitats. The system has already been proven on a worldwide basis within the fishing industry. Shown in the graphic is a 3-D profile of a dredged waterway. Different colours infer different types of bottom material.

Other typical applications include:

  • Location of shellfish habitat
  • Definition of eel grass perimeters
  • Composition of bottom sediment before and after dredging
  • Western Subsea uses ROV mounted stereo cameras to 'ground-truth' bottom substrate.
