Introduction

Seafloor can automatically classify points into the following categories:

  • Shoals
  • Deeps
  • Ridges
  • Saddles
  • Valleys

The user can specify the search radius and angle, where applicable. The points will be saved as separate datasets in a classification folder under each chart.

This exercise expects that the project already contains at least one chart and a corresponding Seafloor surface.

Exercises

 

Exercise

Classify points

  1. On the Utilities (2) tab in the Seafloor Main Menu, click Point Classification.
  2. Check the box for Shoals and the box for Deeps.
  3. Note all the boxes for the different classification types.
  4. Specify the search radius, for instance 50, in the corresponding tabs for the two data types.
  5. Select the main chart.
  6. Click Execute.

The resulting datasets can be found in the classification folder under the chart.

  1. Browse to the classification folder for the actual chart.
  2. Display the dataset shoals_50 by right click and select Display Points.
