Service Description: The results of an object oriented classification using eCognition software with acoustic (backscatter) to group objects into acoustic patch types, that were then used as the basis for habitat identification / classification at multiple scales and as the large scale habitat classes that were assessed in conjunction with ecological data and analyses. Sediment composition was used as the primary factor to characterize the acoustic patches. Sediment composition data determined from samples collected during the October 2012 cruise were sorted in GIS based on their location within each of the initially identified acoustic patches.

Description: Sediment-based acoustic patches, derived from backscatter imagery that can be used to support benthic habitat mapping/classification.
