“We have used the Sonic 2024 for surveying a rocky slope in the port of Brest, for which reference terrestrial laser scanner data is available. We found the Sonic 2024 returned exceptionally clean data, even on difficult seabed such as dumped rocks. We think this system will dramatically decrease the data cleaning effort for digital terrain models production”
