Abstract
This bibliography lists references to papers, reports, abstracts and proceedings dealing with
seabed classification or habitat mapping using acoustic techniques. Classification of seabed
type may be made by using conventional single beam echosounders, or by technically more
complex swathe sidescan and multibeam sonars. The systems process acoustic echoes from the
seabed stimulated by sonar pings to produces estimates of seabed type and bottom backscatter.
A few references are included for parametric systems and sub-bottom profilers. Papers deal
with all facets of seabed acoustics, including theory and techniques, but the bulk of the
references report empirical calibration and mapping results.
Introduction
This document lists papers dealing with acoustic seabed classification, for normal incidence
systems using conventional single beam echosounders, and for multibeam and sidescan swathe
sonar systems. A few references on parametric systems and sub-bottom profiling are also
included. Acoustic bottom classifiers process the return echoes received by echosounders or
sonars to make an estimation of seabed type e.g. mud, sand, gravel, rock; or alternatively, of
habitat characteristics. The bibliography is unannotated, and papers have not been scanned for
relevance or scientific content. Although merely a bare listing, the scope covered by the
references should be useful to those seeking information about acoustic bottom classification,
or on habitation classification methods for single beam, sidescan and multibeam sonar systems.
Publications cover the gamut of underwater acoustics, biology, geology, signal processing,
computing, visualization, and engineering. The use of acoustics for seabed mapping is
increasingly popular, and has spawned a growing number of papers, but is still an active field of
research.

classification: direct methods of classification and the problem of slope.
[http://acoustics2005.bath.ac.uk/Abstracts/abstracts.html]
[Generally, there are three categories of single beam acoustic seabed classification methods: acoustic impedance
measurements, statistical segmentation of echo types and inversion of acoustic field data. The most commercially
successful method is segmentation, because of cost and robustness to different echosounder systems and seabed types.
The disadvantage of segmentation is it requires extensive ground-truthing. Since virtually all seabed sediment properties
can be related by empirical regression relations, a simple direct acoustic measure of any single seabed property would
be useful as a classification method. However, since are uniqueness and resolution issues with any single measure, a
combination of measures would yield the best classification results. In this paper, we consider a different category in
which physical properties of the seabed, such as attenuation, relief spectrum, etc, are measured directly. This approach
uses the same cost-effective apparatus as used in conventional segmentation applications like QTC VIEW, RoxAnn, etc,
but without the need for ground-truthing. We describe results for sea bed classification with a method that relates echo
duration to sediment attenuation. The data utilized in our study include modelled echo time series, and field data from
two British Columbia coastal fjords (one with wood debris), a river and a ROV-based gas hydrate survey. The method
effectively compensates for the effects of water depth and seabed slope, which can introduce serious problems for
conventional segmentation methods. Our analysis shows that slope lengthens echo time series up to 10 times, and biases
bathymetry up to an error of 5%. The experimental results include comparisons of classifications derived from our new
method to those from commercial segmentation methods]
