Single beam echosounding: Considerations of depth and seabed slope
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The topic of depth compensation of single beam echo time series for seabed classification is fairly well studied. The effect of seabed slope has not been publicized. In applications for seabed classification, seabed slope is observed to be associated with classification inaccuracy and failure. In cases of higher slope, single beam bathymetry also becomes inaccurate. A survey of 2 fjords with extreme variation in slope is presented as a representative example and testing bed for investigating slope. The direct effect on seabed echoes is investigated and explained in reference to a simple model of beam-echo geometry. Survey bathymetry is compensated for slope; inaccuracies of up to 5% of depth are corrected, however bottom picking accuracy is diminished in areas of slope and cannot be improved. Surveys of a gas hydrate site and a river will also be presented as applications of these ideas. Early results from BORIS model studies of methods for compensation of slope and depth may also be presented.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
