Seabed
Imaging and Mapping Survey
The
Seabed Imaging and Mapping System (SIMS) consists of a towed video camera
that images the seabed and is precisely positioned with real-time differential
GPS (DGPS). A specialized seabed classification system allows precision
mapping of the nearshore substrate, flora and fauna, as well as identification
of specific seabed targets.
