    Abstract Single-beam echo sounders remain popular for seabed mapping because they possess an affordable cost and user-friendly design, delivering essential services for marine navigation, coastal management and resource conservation. High-amplitude echoes known as sea-spikes can severely harm depth measurement precision by disrupting readings, thus lowering the overall data accuracy. The manual processing method for outliers produces subjective results and demands excessive labor, which makes it difficult to accomplish trustworthy data processing. The study presents the Sea-Spike Filtering System (SSFS) as a semi-automatic system that utilizes mean absolute deviation (MAD) together with median filter (MF) techniques to… More >
