Below is a list of Interferometric Bathymetry sonars currently supported by OIC products,
along with sample data for each sonar type. (Hover over each thumbprint photo to
enlarge it.)
CAPE COD CANAL, MASSACHUSETTS, USA
- The Teledyne Benthos C3D seafloor mapping system is made by Teledyne Benthos Inc.,

CLEFT OF JUAN DE FUCA RIDGE
- The DSL-120 is owned and operated by the Deep Submergence Lab of the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institute, Woods Hole, MA.
- Combined sidescan and interferometric swath bathymetry data from the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Deep Submergence Lab's DSL-120 system.
- Data, complements of Debra Stakes of MBARI, were collected from the “cleft” segment
of the Juan de Fuca Ridge, near its intersection with the Blanco Fracture zone.
SOUTH PERU
- The SeaMARC II was co-created by the University of Hawaii and the Raytheon Company.
- SeaMARC II data were converted to OIC format on UNIX and processed in GeoDAS-Desktop
at 100-m resolution.
- Map annotations were added in ER Mapper.
HONOLULU HARBOR, HAWAII, USA
- The UEOS Deepscan is produced by Ultra Electronic Ocean System, of Middlesex, England.
- UEOS Deepscan data were collected for demo during IEEE MTS/OCEANS 2001.
- Data were processed at 30-cm resolution in
GeoDAS-Desktop and superimposed over air
photo image and SPOT satellite image in ER Mapper. - Higher resolution mosaic images (5-cm and 10-cm) were inserted for close-up target
display.
