EOMAP - Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) Service

Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) offered by EOMAP represents an innovative method for surveying shallow waters by leveraging algorithms developed since the 1990s. This approach utilizes physics-based quantitative solutions to transform satellite sensor data into reliable bathymetric information. Notably, EOMAP is the only provider employing this rigorous methodology, ensuring data of high quality suitable for applications in nautical charting, hydrodynamic models, and coastal zone management. The service offers bathymetric data at varying spatial resolutions of 2m, 10m, and 15-30m, accommodating different project requirements with turnarounds from hours to weeks, depending on location and size. The browser-based eoapp® SDB-Online allows users to generate high-resolution bathymetric charts using advanced algorithms. The service uses the Lowest Astronomical Tide as the default vertical datum, while compatibility with GIS and hydrographic software for data integration is ensured through adherence to OGC standards.

EOMAP - Benthic Cover and Habitat Mapping Services

EOMAP can map, classify, and quantify the seafloor in shallow waters. Our benthic cover and habitat mapping methods are based on our value-added processing chain, which removes the distorting effects of the atmosphere, water surface, and water column from the satellite imagery. This offers you an unbiased and focused view of the seafloor over vast areas, contrary to spotty data collected through diving transects. Together with our spectral databases and the expert knowledge of our image analysts, we turn satellite data into valuable and ready-to-use information on the nature of the seafloor. With our benthic cover and habitat mapping procedures, we can supply information for extended areas, significantly minimising time-consuming and risky on-site surveys or even avoiding them completely. In addition, this helps you explore changes over time.
