Needles rMCZ BSH
A broadscale habitat layer was produced by analysising and interpreting the acoustic and ground truth data collected at Needles rMCZ. Particle size data for the sediment samples were used to assign each sample to one of the four sediment classes, namely coarse sediment, sand, mud and mixed sediment. The assignments were used to inform the semi-automated process of map production using object-based image analysis (OBIA). Statistical modelling was combined with the OBIA image analysis to aid production of the final broadscale habitat map.
