UAV-mounted single-beam sonar for rapid bathymetric monitoring of coastal infrastructure: implications for structural health assessment

Accurate bathymetric data are essential for the design and monitoring of coastal structures, but conventional multibeam surveys are costly and often impractical in shallow or confined areas. We evaluate a single-beam echosounder (SBES, ECT400) suspended beneath an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as a rapid method with lo...
