- Abstract:
- The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the
Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (MA CZM), is producing
detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Imagery, originally
collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental
framework for research and management activities along this part of the
Massachusetts coastline, shows the composition and terrain of the
seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic
habitat. Interpretive data layers were derived from the combined
single-beam and multibeam echo-sounder data and sidescan-sonar data
collected in the vicinity of Edgartown Harbor, Massachusetts. During
August 2008 seismic-reflection profiles (Boomer and Chirp) were
acquired, and during September 2008 bottom photographs and surficial
sediment data were acquired as part of two ground-truth reconnaissance
surveys.
- Purpose:
- To release a GeoTIFF of the 455-kHz sidescan-sonar data
generated during NOAA survey H11346 in the vicinity of Edgartown
Harbor, in UTM Zone 19, NAD83.

- The original sidescan-sonar data acquired with Klein
T-5000 sidescan-sonar systems during NOAA survey H11346 aboard the NOAA
ship Thomas Jefferson.
- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
- The sidescan-sonar data were acquired with Klein
T-5000 sidescan-sonar systems hull mounted to two 29' aluminum launches
deployed from the NOAA ship Thomas Jefferson. The systems were set to
sweep 100 m to either side of the launch tracks. The sonar systems
emitted two (port and starboard) 50°-wide beams tilted down 20° from
horizontal, and transmitted at 455 kHz. The data were acquired in XTF
(extended Triton data format), recorded digitally through an ISIS data
acquisition system, and processed using CARIS SIPS (Sidescan Image
Processing) software for quality control, and to produce a composite
sidescan-sonar image at 2-m horizontal resolution. As part of this
process, the sidescan-sonar data were demultiplexed and filtered to
remove speckle noise and correct for slant-range distortions. Image
'shine through', to account for areas of overlap, and auto-contrast
adjustment were applied. Contrast enhancement based on the dynamic
range of the data was applied to the mosaic and it was then projected
into UTM Zone 19 to produce the final enhanced image.

- The image was imported into Adobe Photoshop CS2 in
order to apply a linear stretch (i.e., increase the dynamic range of
the data), to change image from RGB to grayscale, to invert the
grayscale to make strong reflections light tones and weak reflections
returns darker tones, and to correct tonal artifacts caused by improper
cross-track normalization..
