The invention discloses a GA
algorithm-based shallow water multi-beam
wrinkle error automatic
correction method, and belongs to the technical field of multi-beam sounding post-
processing. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, on the basis of keeping the linear characteristic of a conventional beam homing model, improving and perfecting the independence of the model, and considering the independence of a transmitting
transducer and a receiving
transducer, so that the accuracy of the sounding point position and the
water depth calculation is improved; then, from the perspective of multi-beam sounding error propagation, parameterization of time
delay, introducing the
scale error, axial deviation and lever arm error into the improved model, and constructing an error correlation model; and finally, dynamically searching an optimal estimated value of a corresponding error parameter by using a GA
algorithm by taking a
seabed flat region fitting optimal plane as a constraint so as to realize automatic correction of the
wrinkle error. According to the method, fine and
automatic processing of multi-beam sounding dynamic errors is realized, and the problems that
coupling among the errors is not taken into consideration during
wrinkle error correction, and non-
automation is realized are effectively solved.
