Shallow-water bathymetry is important for many survey applications, some of which include port and harbour navigation and inspection, environmental assessment and mapping, underwater construction and rapid area assessment. Many of these surveys are conducted in water depths of less than 20 meters and require accurate, high-resolution data with the ability to detect small objects while providing full bottom coverage. 3, record 2, English, - shallow%2Dwater%20bathymetry

If the pushbroom sensors are capable of starboard and port viewing, SIS [Sensor and Instrument System] could be designed for simultaneous broad area searches and rapid motion detection. By positioning the panchromatic scan line slightly ahead of or slightly behind the multispectral scan line, the sensors could perform a broad area survey and then the two acquired images could be digitally merged together to detect rapid movements. This technique has been applied to SPOT imagery. 2, record 3, English, - panchromatic%20scan%20line
