Seafloor Mapping and Imaging Systems

Seafloor mapping and imaging systems use advanced technology to explore and visualize the ocean floor. These systems employ sonar and underwater cameras to create detailed digital maps and images, revealing features like ridges, trenches, and shipwrecks. They help scientists understand underwater geology, habitats, and ecosystems, and assist in navigation, resource exploration, and environmental monitoring. By collecting accurate, high-resolution data, these systems provide a comprehensive view of the seafloor, much like a detailed map or 3D image, enabling better decision-making and scientific discovery beneath the waves.
