Edition: 1.0 Series_Information: Series_Name: Open-File Report Issue_Identification: 2007-1373 Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Reston, VA Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey Online_Linkage: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2007/1373/ Description: Abstract: These data were collected under a cooperative agreement with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) and the U.S. Geological Survey, Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Woods Hole Science Center. Initiated in 2003, the primary objective of this program is to develop regional geologic framework information for the management of coastal and marine resources. Accurate data and maps of sea-floor geology are important first steps toward protecting fish habitat, delineating marine reserves, and assessing environmental changes due to natural or human impacts. The project is focused on the inshore waters (5-30m deep) of Massachusetts between the New Hampshire border and Cape Cod Bay. Data collected for the mapping cooperative have been released in a series of USGS Open-File Reports. This spatial dataset is from the Cape Ann and Salisbury Beach Massachusetts project area. They were collected in two separate surveys in 2004 and 2005 and cover approximately 325 square kilometers of the inner continental shelf. High resolution bathymetry and backscatter intensity were collected in 2004 and 2005. Seismic profile data, sediment samples and bottom photography were also collected in 2005. Purpose: The purpose of these data is to measure the relative backscatter reflectance from towed sidescan-sonar in the survey area for regional geologic interpretations from Cape Ann to Salisbury Beach, Massachusetts.

Completeness_Report: Although both the 132 kHz and 445 kHz frequency data were collected, only the low frequency (132 kHz) data were processed and included in this mosaic. All lines surveyed were used in the final mosaic. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: These data were navigated using Real-Time Kinematic Global Positioning System (RTK-GPS) signal from a RTK base station established by USGS for this survey. RTK-GPS provides horizontal position accuracies (x and y) on the decimeter scale (http://www.noaa.gov; http://www.nos.noaa.gov; http://www.ngs.noaa.gov). The x,y, and z position of the sidescan-sonar towfish was calculated from estimated depth and layback from the GPS receiver on the survey vessel. The accuracy of the actual position of the sidescan-sonar towfish is dependant on this estimated layback. The accuracy of the horizontal position of the towfish is estimated at 10m. The positional accuracy of the final georeferenced Klein backscatter mosaic was adjusted by registering the Klein mosaic to the backscatter collected with the SEA SwathPlus bathymetric sonar. The SwathPlus backscatter has better positional accuracy because the GPS antenna was mounted directly over the sonar head to minimize xy offsets between the acquired RTK-GPS position and SwathPlus sonar transducers.

The sonar fish was towed approximately 25 m astern of the R/V Connecticut and approximately 10 m off the bottom. Data were collected along tracklines spaced 100 apart at an average speed of 5 knots. Navigation for all sidescan data used RTK-GPS. Process_Step: Process_Description: Backscatter data from the Klein 3000 were collected using SonarPro (ver. 9.0) acquisition software and recorded during the survey in eXtended Triton Format (xtf). The Klein 3000 operates at dual frequencies of 132 & 445 kHz. The lower frequency data were used in this mosaic. The sidescan-sonar was configured to collect data at 100m range on either side of the towfish for a total swath width of 200m. Each line file was processed for beam angle and slant range correction using LINUX based Xsonar/ShowImage (ver 1.0) as described in Danforth (1997). The specific parameters used in Xsonar are listed below: Demultiplexing Range and Filter Option: Swath Width= 200m Across Track/Along Track Filter= 4 x 3 pings Port and Starboard Normalize=4000 pings Input= 16 bit Beam Patter Correction: Number of lines= 150 Ping Overlap=75 Max Beam Angle=90 Response Angle:55 Process_Date: 200509 Process_Contact: Contact_Information: Contact_Person_Primary: Contact_Person: Brian Andrews Contact_Organization: U.S. Geological Survey Contact_Position: Geographer Contact_Address: Address_Type: mailing and physical address Address: 384 Woods Hole Rd.

The 80-byte header for each raw raster file was removed and the images was converted to a raster (.ras) file with the command: dd if=filename.ras of=filename.ras bs=80 skip=1 These resulting rasters (.ras) were converted to a TIFF using Adobe Photoshop (ver. 10).

Each tiff file was imported to the pix file using the OrthoEngine module.

Once GCPs were collected, each line was orthorectified to the master pix file that is referenced to the Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system (UTM) Zone 19 WGS84. The rectified line was then mosaicked into the master mosaic by digitized cutlines. All GCPs were saved to text files with RMS errors for each point.

Although the dynamic range of the Klein backscatter is better than the SwathPlus backscatter, the positional accuracy of the side-mount SwathPlus data is more accurate than the towed Klein data because the GPS receiver was mounted at the top of the side mount, directly above the SwathPlus sonar head. This reduces error in the x and y position of the data. A total of 10 Ground control points were collected between the SwathPlus and Klein mosaic using PCI OrthoEngine module (ver. 10.1.3). Final root mean square (RMS) error between Klein and SwathPlus mosaics is 9.10m in the x and 12.34m in the Y direction.

Overview_Description: Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: There are no attributes associated with a GeoTIFF image. Image pixel values contain acoustic reflectivity values normalized to an 8-bit data range (0-255). Low-backscatter is represented by dark tones (low values) and high-backscatter is represented by bright tones (high values). The background data value (0) is set to "no data" so the data range is 1-255. Small differences in contrast stretch (DN values exist because of variations in sea and weather conditions on each survey day.
