36 results about "Bathymetry" patented technology

Bathymetry (/bəˈθɪmətriː/) is the study of underwater depth of lake or ocean floors. In other words, bathymetry is the underwater equivalent to hypsometry or topography. The name comes from Greek βαθύς (bathus), "deep", and μέτρον (metron), "measure". Bathymetric (or hydrographic) charts are typically produced to support safety of surface or sub-surface navigation, and usually show seafloor relief or terrain as contour lines (called depth contours or isobaths) and selected depths (soundings), and typically also provide surface navigational information. Bathymetric maps (a more general term where navigational safety is not a concern) may also use a Digital Terrain Model and artificial illumination techniques to illustrate the depths being portrayed. The global bathymetry is sometimes combined with topography data to yield a Global Relief Model. Paleobathymetry is the study of past underwater depths.

This invention discloses a method and device for detecting weak signals in spaceborne lidar depth sounding that takes into account terrain continuity. It is used in a two-stage depth photon extraction method based on terrain continuity constraints. After underwater photon extraction, the method reduces density differences along the track through point cloud homogenization and scaling transformation, laying the foundation for subsequent two-stage underwater photon extraction. The first stage uses a globally adaptive density threshold to extract high-reliability underwater terrain photons. In the second stage, weak underwater terrain photons are recovered by propagating terrain continuity constraints from the high-reliability underwater terrain photons, ultimately obtaining a complete depth point cloud data map displaying the seabed topography. This method utilizes terrain continuity as a strong constraint and further improves the density distinction between weak depth signals and noise by using an enhanced density index. It can robustly recover valuable weak signals that traditional methods often miss in complex environments with high-density noise and sparse signals.

The present invention relates to a wave pool for surfing comprising a wave generation system formed by individual modules, the movement variables of which are controlled sequentially as a whole and individually via a centralised control system to push a mass of water forward and backward using partially submerged gates. Depending on the geometry of the pool, these two movements can be used to provide two waves with identical characteristics on each side of the pool. Alternatively, a single side can be used in conjunction with the modules located at a 45° angle to maximise the energy of each movement, provide an increasingly longer wave, and have pools with considerable lengths. Once movement is generated, the pushed mass of water travels a ride length before reaching the reef that is arranged at a diagonal angle to the trajectory of said water, and, upon encountering same, the wave breaks. This break gives rise to a wave that can differ depending on its initial characteristics, which exist throughout the bathymetry, which exhibits specific fixed characteristics. The shape of the pool is contained by a structure that is defined to achieve harmony in terms of frequency and quality of the generated waves and that sends the water resulting from the generation of waves to a mitigation channel located at each end of the pool. The mass of water resulting from these movements is collected in this channel and prevents water reflection and turbulence, in turn allowing the water to return naturally by gravity to maintain the level of water in the pool. A tank outside the pool can be used to raise or lower the water level, simulating the effect of a tide in a controlled environment based on the type of waves required, allowing different configurations of both individual and group waves for different surfer skill levels such as beginner, intermediate and advanced.
