Contour interval control for an aquatic geographic information system

摘要

A method of processing geo-statistical data includes piloting a watercraft with a monitoring system on a water body, taking measurements of a depth of the water body using the monitoring system, and taking measurements of the position of the watercraft using the monitoring system. The method also includes aligning the depth measurements with the position measurements, creating a first contour map with a first set of depth ranges from the depth and position measurements wherein each of the first set of depth ranges are separated by a first interval; and creating a second contour map with a second set of depth ranges from depth and position measurements wherein each of the second set of depth ranges are separated by a second interval that is different from the first interval.

1. A method of processing geo-statistical data, the method comprising:
piloting a first watercraft on a water body, the first watercraft including a monitoring system; taking a first plurality of measurements of a depth of the water body using the monitoring system; taking a second plurality of measurements of a position of the watercraft using the monitoring system; aligning the first plurality of measurements with the second plurality of measurements; creating a first contour map with a first plurality of depth ranges from the first plurality of measurements and the second plurality of measurements wherein each of the first plurality of depth ranges are separated by a first interval; and creating a second contour map with a second plurality of depth ranges from the first plurality of measurements and the second plurality of measurements wherein each of the second plurality of depth ranges are separated by a second interval that is different from the first interval.
