Monetisation of sustainable business models for Satellite Derived Bathymetry

Who are we?

We are a UK & UAE based company specialising in satellite derived seabed & environmental mapping products We aim to bring new, cost effective coastal & environmental mapping solutions to the market We have delivered over 20 projects worldwide to prestigious customers such as EAD, UKHO, NOAA, British Navy, GSI etc.

History of bathymetry - boats

History of bathymetry – aircraft

History of bathymetry - satellite

Multi sensor acquisition

Landsat

Large area, course surveys at medium accuracy

Rapid Eye

Medium area high resolution surveys at good accuracy

WorldView-2

Super high resolution surveys with excellent accuracy

Resolution Accuracy

Preferred satellite data – WorldView-2

400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 1100 MS WV2 Pan WV1 Pan MS QB Pan Wavelength (nm)

8 multispectral bands, with a coastal blue band.

What have we done so far? Special case studies

All projects have been completed without any mobilisations of any kind

Wexford Harbour, Ireland

Item Conclusion Client Geological Survey Ireland Date July 2012 Purpose Comparison with MBES, SBES & LiDAR Depths reached 20 m Accuracy Various – see difference sheet Achievements Relatively good results in Irish waters Issues Turbidity at river mouth gave poor accuracies Conclusions

• SDB can be successfully used in northern Atlantic

waters

• GSI went on to issue RFP for SDB for 12 bays which

Proteus won with work currently underway

Wexford

Wexford - Detail

Wexford Quality Map

Unreliable results due to turbidity at river mouth Green & yellow indicate reliable data in clearer waters

Wexford validation by client using MBES

Poor accuracies at river mouth Very good accuracies between 0m and 0.75m from MBES Accuracies start to taper off in deeper waters but still consistent with 10% of depth

Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands

Item Conclusion Client NOAA Date January 2013 Purpose Remote island survey Depths reached > 25 m Accuracy Estimated at 10% of water depth – see overlay of data

• n chart

Achievements Rapid survey in extremely remote area Issues None to report Conclusions

• Survey aligned well with NOAA charts
• No challenges to survey very remote area
• Great example of how huge savings can be made

negating the need for mobilisations of boats or aircraft

Data lines up with dredged channel Shoals match 100% bottom cover achieved for survey area

Question – what if we could change the current sales & business models of seabed mapping and make the products even more affordable?

Bathymetry data capture cost comparisons

Activity Echo sounding LiDAR Satellite Costs/sq km > $2,000 - $5,000 > $1,000 - $2,000 < $200 Data capture in field 5 – 10 sq km/hour 10 – 20 sq km/hour Unlimited Processing rate/ month 500 sq km 500 sq km 5,000 sq km Permits required? Yes Yes No Mobilisation? Yes Yes No Border issues? Yes Yes No Health & safety issues? Yes Yes No Danger to ecosystem? Yes No No Pollution issues Yes Yes No Seabed classification? No No Yes Although this price is much lower than current prices – can this be lowered further?

SUPPLY

Create “off the shelf” data products from archive Work with respected charting

• ffices to validate data

Re-sell multiple times thus reducing sq km rate even further

Create more than just xyz data

Conclusions

• SDB is an affordable & fast alternative survey

method compared to traditional methods

• Accuracies more than adequate for most

applications and are improving all the time

• Remotely sensed surveys of seabed alleviate

many issues associated with traditional methods such as permits, borders and H&S issues

• Price point can be lowered further if new

sustainable business models can be introduced and funded in short term
