TLDR
In this article, features extracted from echosounder bottom returns are compared with the ground truth in a North Sea survey area, which consists of 50 grab samples for which the grain size distribution, and the gravel and shell contents were determined.About:

Benthic habitat mapping: A review of progress towards improved understanding of the spatial ecology of the seafloor using acoustic techniques
TL;DR: This review examines the various strategies and methods used to produce benthic habitat maps using acoustic remote sensing techniques, coupled with in situ sampling and concludes that the advent of spatial ecological studies founded on high-resolution environmental data sets will undoubtedly help to examine patterns in community and species distributions.

Developments in the application of multibeam sonar backscatter for seafloor habitat mapping
Craig J. Brown,Philippe Blondel +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of recent developments in the application of multibeam echosounders for seafloor habitat studies, with a focus on the use of backscatter data for surficial geology and habitat mapping.

The application of remote sensing to seagrass ecosystems: an overview and future research prospects
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated various methods employed to produce seagrass habitat maps using optical and acoustic remote-sensing (RS) techniques coupled with in situ sampling to highlight recent advances and to define areas where potential future research should be focused in the application of RS technologies.

A Bayesian approach to seafloor classification using multi-beam echo-sounder backscatter data
Dick G. Simons,Mirjam Snellen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a seafloor classification method that employs the MBES backscatter data is presented. But the method is independent on the quality of MBES calibration, and its performance is insensitive to seafladoor type variation along the MBE swathe and corrections for the angular dependence of the backscattered are not needed.

Principal Component Analysis of Single-Beam Echo-Sounder Signal Features for Seafloor Classification
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of seafloor sediment classification using single-beam echo-sounder (SBES) data based on a phenomenological method are presented, which is applied to the SBES echo shape parameters such as total energy, time-spread, skewness and flatness on three low (12 kHz), moderate (38 kHz), and high (200 kHz) frequencies.

The Fractal Geometry of Nature
TL;DR: A blend of erudition (fascinating and sometimes obscure historical minutiae abound), popularization (mathematical rigor is relegated to appendices) and exposition (the reader need have little knowledge of the fields involved) is presented in this article.

Multivariate Statistical Methods
I. G. Evans,Donald F. Morrison +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a text designed to make multivariate techniques available to behavioural, social, biological and medical students is presented, which includes an approach to multivariate inference based on the union-intersection and generalized likelihood ratio principles.

The Distinction between Grain Size and Mineral Composition in Sedimentary-Rock Nomenclature
TL;DR: In this paper, a system of grain-size nomenclature of terrigenous sediments and sedimentary rocks is introduced wherein fifteen major textural groups are defined on the ratios of gravel, sand, silt, and clay.
