Remote Sensing Scallop Evaluation

The project will assess the potential of novel, automated technologies for the collection of scallop stock data.

  • 1. Desk-based review of current state-of-art for remote survey

methods for scallop resources

  • 2. Limited sea-trial of three methodologies that best represent

the different approaches currently available for remote survey

  • 3. Evaluation of tests and methods with respect to industry

capacity and cost effectiveness

  • Task 1- desk-based review of current state-of-art for remote survey and

analysis methods

  • Task 2 - sea-trial

– towed systems - Sidescan Sonar, multibeam sonar – autonomous systems – Gavia AUV – buoyed systems – Walkaway Velocity Analysis

  • Task 3 - ground truth sampling of site using standard methods of analysis

to include diver-based survey, towed-video survey and UAV still/video survey.

  • Task 4 – processing of remote sensing results using standard software

approaches

  • Task 5 – statistical analysis of results. This task will include identifying any

adjustments required to correct for scallops unavailable for detection by any given method. A cost-benefit analysis will also be performed at this stage to identify how accuracy and precision balance against the costs of each survey method.
