Abstract

In order to compress the huge amount of multi-beam echo sounding data, this paper puts forward a new method of multibeam sounding data thinning based on the 3D Douglas-Peucker algorithm. Firstly, determination of the initial base plane in the 3D Douglas-Peucker algorithm is improved, and the algorithm efficiency is increased by dozens of times. Then this algorithm is used for the data thinning experiment using the multi-beam sounding data of a sea area in the north of China, and good experimental results are achieved. Through comparison and analysis of the data thinning experimental results, it is shown that the feature points of the seabed terrain can well be extracted by the 3D Douglas-Peucker algorithm and this method is suitable for multi-beam echo sounding data thinning. It also fits the surface measurement model of a multi-beam sounding system, and can realize global data thinning in the three dimensional space. The way of progressive data selection can provide various required accuracies for LOD of underwater terrain. Therefore, it has a good prospect of application.
