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.Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) is the most recently developed method of surveying shallow waters. In contrast to other survey methods,
- it requires no mobilisation of persons or equipment,
- provides rapid access to bathymetric data,
- makes operations in shallow water more effective and reduces project risks,
- and saves costs.
Having developed SDB algorithms since the 1990s we strictly follow physics-based, quantitative solutions to convert the information collected by the satellite sensor into bathymetric data. As the only SDB provider using this approach, our data fulfil the highest quality requirements and are being used in nautical charts, operational hydrodynamic models and coastal zone management plans.
We provide SDB data in very high (2 m), high (10 m) and moderate (15-30 m) spatial resolutions. Our turnaround times range from hours to a few weeks, depending on project location and size.
With the eoapp® SDB-Online, we offer users a fully operational, extremely hands-on online solution. This browser-based web app empowers you to apply our cutting-edge algorithms for creating your own high-resolution bathymetric charts.
- Reduce mobilization of staff and equipment.
- Significantly save costs.
- Access high resolution bathymetric data already at an early project stage, quickly and easily.
- Reduce risks for on-site activities.
- Survey inaccessible and remote areas.
