Abstract
The coastal zone represents one of the more sensitive zones. But, the establishment of a global managment tool for the coastal zone is not a trivial subject because this zone is at the border of two differents environments. To solve this problem we propose to use a new unique tool which covers all the zones of the coastal aera. The aim of the FUDOTERAM project is to develop a calibration of the SHOALS-T1000 airborn bathymetric LiDAR system for different types of coastal environments along the East coast of Canada. This calibration will be obtained by the fusion of two data set provided from two different and complementary systems: SHOALS-T1000 and a multibeam bathymetric system. The SHOALS-T1000 consist of a dual wavelength lasers (532/1064nm) which are used in bathymetry for acquiring and processing horizontal position (x and y), altitude (z) and depth (h) data. Also, in this project, the intensity of the laser return signal (ILRS) will be analysed to establish a morpho-biological mapping in function of the different type of physical, chemical and environmental parameters as well as the sediment and rock facies signiatures or the fish habitat signiatures (e.g. seagrass fields). To complete the calibrations, the ILRS values will be correlated with standard marine bathymetric and geophysical data. The survey area will be located in the north coast of the Chaleur Bay, Gulf of St-Lawrence, along two differents type of environments: a low wave energy environment: the Bonaventure-St.Siméon area and a high wave energy environment: the Paspebiac area.
