A Novel Acoustic Sediment Classification Method Based on the K-Mdoids Algorithm Using Multibeam Echosounder Backscatter Intensity

The modern discrimination of sediment is based on acoustic intensity (backscatter) information from high-resolution multibeam echo-sounder systems (MBES). The backscattering intensity, varying with the angle of incidence, reveals the characteristics of seabed sediment. In this study, we propose a no...
