Abstract

The ship motion, data density, and processing software are the factors investigated that affect the accuracy of bathymetric survey. The effect of those factors had been tested during data processing using different hydrographic software packages. Results showed that due to the calm surface in Suez Canal during the survey, heave, pitch and roll effects are insignificant in volume computations. It has been proved that data density (line spacing) has an influential effect on volume estimation, where the closer the line spacing (increased data density), the lower the uncertainty. It has been also found that using different volume calculation software based on different Digital Terrain models may cause differences in the resulting estimated volume
