Claim 12:
13. A system for generating synthetic bathymetry detailing a shape of a bottom of a water body, comprising:
a server device, wherein the server device comprises one or more processors, one or more computer readable storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer readable storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions executable to:
receive real terrain data generated from sensor-based measurement of terrain associated with but outside the water body;
extract one or more fractal dimensions from the real terrain data;
generate synthetic bathymetry of the water body based on the one or more fractal dimensions from the real terrain data outside the water body using one or more fractal terrain generation techniques, the synthetic bathymetry of the water body displaying a shape of the bottom of the water body.
