Abstract
The principal aim of this study was to assess the potential for INFOMAR LiDAR reflectivity data to be used for the classification of seabed characteristics. LiDAR bathymetry has been used successfully within the INFOMAR project for the generation of bathymetric charts, and the potential for LiDAR reflectivity for seabed mapping has begun to receive scientific attention elsewhere. INFOMAR has captured a huge amount of Multi-beam Echo Sounder (MBES) sonar data, and has successfully implemented techniques to classify seabed character from MBES backscatter data. This has provided an opportunity to compare LiDAR reflectivity data with that of MBES backscatter to assess the potential of LiDAR reflectivity for seabed characterisation.
