Seabed Classification

Quester Tangent Marine provides products and services for acoustic bottom classification.

Non-destructive, acoustic classification of sea, lake or river bed generates sediment distribution, extent of habitat and other key information for bottom mapping, in real-time or post-processing, for:

• Marine scientists who need research tools to investigate the seabed 
• Surveyors and Hydrographers who have a mandate to deliver substrate and habitat information
• Commercial fishing operators who need to efficiently fill quotas while minimizing bycatch

Quester Tangent’s products and services include single beam and swath bottom classification tools that use echo sounder information to objectively and accurately map seabed composition.

Single beam habitat and sediment classification that goes beyond seabed roughness and hardness

Swath mapping software that generates bottom classification maps from multibeam or sidescan backscatter image data

LIDAR classification processing services of data collected by Fugro LADS

Our products are designed to interface with your existing multibeam, sidescan or single beam sonar system  – download our supported systems list to see if your sounder is supported.
