Abstract

Multibeam bathymetry is a bathymetry technique of wide sector propagation and strip coverage by simultaneously transmitting and simultaneously receiving multiple beams. This paper mainly focuses on the problem of multibeam transmitting, combines theoretical proofs and data laws, respectively conducts qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis of the survey line layout scheme, and concludes that in the case of the shortest total length of the survey line, all the survey lines are straight lines parallel to each other, and the angle of the direction of the survey line is 90°, and the coverage rate between any neighboring strips is 10%. The total length of survey lines is modeled by geometric analysis, and the optimal survey line deployment scheme contains 34 survey lines, with a total length of 125936 m. The optimal survey line deployment scheme is based on the model of the total length of survey lines.
