Ocean Exploration Model and Analysis Based on Multi-Beam Sounding Technology

This article presents a seabed sounding model that integrates geometric analysis with computational optimization, significantly enhancing the efficiency of multibeam survey line planning. We develop a mathematical model to precisely determine the coverage width and overlap rate for adjacent survey strips, taking into account the seabed slope and survey line direction, which is critical for accurate seabed mapping. Our proposed strategies for the shortest set of survey lines necessary for complete sea area coverage are innovative, with the optimal route from deep to shallow water requiring only 34 lines over 68 nautical miles, demonstrating a potential reduction in time and resource expenditure. The model's robustness is further evidenced by its ability to adapt to seabed undulations, ensuring thorough coverage. This research offers substantial improvements in seabed survey efficiency, with implications for maritime navigation, underwater construction, and environmental studies.
