Abstract:
1. A method of processing geo-statistical data, the method comprising: piloting a first watercraft on a water body, the first watercraft including a first monitoring system; measuring a first plurality of depths of the water body using the first monitoring system; measuring a first plurality of elevations of the first watercraft using the first monitoring system; measuring a first plurality of positions of the first watercraft using the first monitoring system; aligning the first plurality of depths and the first plurality of elevations with the first plurality of positions; creating a first average elevation using the first plurality of elevations; creating a first contour map from the first plurality of depths, the first plurality of positions, and the first average elevation; piloting a second watercraft on a water body, the second watercraft including a second monitoring system; measuring a second plurality of depths of the water body using the second monitoring system; measuring a second plurality of elevations of the second watercraft using the second monitoring system; measuring a second plurality of positions of the second watercraft using the second monitoring system; aligning the second plurality of depths and the second plurality of elevations with the second plurality of positions; creating a second average elevation using the second plurality of elevations; and comparing the first average elevation to the second average elevation to create an elevation difference; and adjusting by the elevation difference at least one of each of first plurality of depths and each of the second plurality of depths to compute at least one of an adjusted first plurality of depths and an adjusted second plurality of depths.
