| Summary: | The Ocean Floor Observation and Bathymetry System (OFOBS) is an underwater survey plat-form, which is designed and developed for research in the Polar Regions by the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI). The tailored deep tow system brought a new perspective and clarity from Arctic Ocean by its optical and acoustic sensors. During the PS101 expedition at the Karasik seamount, OFOBS provides a novel picture of megafauna’s habitats. In this study, we develop a methodology to convert the imagery dataset to micro-bathymetry in order to provide primary data for object detection and habitat mapping which will provide a better understanding of arctic benthic habitats. The methodology is based on the underwater photogrammetry workflow and two different point cloud classification methods adopted for sponge detec-tion in 3D point clouds, to facilitate habitat mapping with a focus on the central of Kara |
