Why motion matters: From MRUs to INS in bathymetric survey
Even the most advanced multibeam echosounder is only as good as the motion data behind it. Survey vessels pitch, roll and heave with every wave, and while this movement may seem subtle from the deck at times, it has a direct and often significant impact on bathymetric data used for seabed mapping, environmental surveys and pre-construction assessments.
