Benthic habitat polygon coverages are being created for the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS). OCNMS has collected multibeam backscatter, multibeam bathymetry, bottom grab and video data to produce polygon coverages describing seafloor substrate for various areas within the sanctuary. A maximum likelihood classification rule was used to segment the acoustic imagery using local fourier histogram texture features calculated from multibeam xyz data along with multibeam backscatter intensity values. Video and sediment grab information was used to validate the classification.

Benthic habitat polygon coverages are being created for the Olympic Coast national marine sanctuary (OCNMS).ROV, towed camera sled, bathymetry data, sedimentary samples, and sonar mapping have been integrated to describe the geological, biological, and oceanographic aspects of habitat. OCNMS has collected side scan sonar and video data to produce polygon coverages. The habitat polygons have attributes for megahabitat, bottom induration, mesohabitat, macrohabitat and biology (where direct observations are available), polygon area and perimeter.
