Gao Peilan · Hydrographic Surveying and Charting · 2012
With the powerful ability of the volume calculation of the Surfer software,and the flexible programming of the Scripter module,combined with the general bathymetric chart of the oceans(GEBCO)DTM database,this paper achieved the effort estimation in the multibeam project planning automatically and more accurately.This can be very helpful for the hydrographer.Finally,this paper used the history survey data of several projects to verify the precision of this method,obtaining that the average error is about 4%,and achieved satisfactory results.
