Abstract :
We present a technique for the integration of data from a ship based multibeam along with multibeam and stereo images gathered from an AUV. The novelty of the proposed technique is the ability to integrate data-sets at different resolutions to produce one consistent model that captures not only high resolution images of the seafloor but sweeping geological features that span kilometers.
