TCarta Marine, a global provider of hydrospatial products, has announced development of new Machine Learning-based bathymetric mapping technologies.
The development includes creation of two software packages and a commercial application of NASA’s ICESat-2 satellite – with funding from the US National Science Foundation (NSF).
“The NSF grant has brought value to the bathymetric mapping arena in many ways,” said TCarta President Kyle Goodrich. “We have applied the newly developed satellite-derived bathymetric (SDB) mapping techniques in numerous commercial and government projects worldwide.”
The commercial bathymetric mapping projects relate to oil spill management, oil & gas exploration and production, coastal infrastructure engineering, environmental monitoring, and geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) activities. Customers include private-sector organizations as well as numerous international government agencies.
