Description
Summary:Water transportation plays a vital role in global economic activities, facilitating more than 85% of international trade and serving as a cost-effective and essential means to fulfill the demand for goods and services. Similarly, the Benoa Port, situated in the southern part of Denpasar City, operates in the same manner. By utilizing Multibeam Echo Sounder (MBES) backscatter data, backscatter mosaics can be generated to identify various seafloor sediment types, which consist of rock fragments, minerals, and organic materials. The characteristics of these sediments, such as grain size, density, composition, and others, can be observed. To improve the classification of sediments, the integration of backscatter data and backscatter features, such as ASM (Angular Second Moment), Energy, Contrast, and Correlation, can be employed. Supervised classification models like Dense Neural Network (DNN) can be utilized to accurately determine the types of seafloor sediments. The application of DNN modeling resulted in a training accuracy rate of 88% and a testing accuracy rate of 100%. The accuracy results delineated six distinct sediment types. Notably, sandy silt exhibited the highest distribution, accounting for 49.30%, whereas soft clayey silt registered the lowest distribution at 0.53%, as determined by their respective spatial prevalence.
