The multibeam bathymetric system (MBS) can provide both sounding data and acoustic backscattering strength data. Using the latter, Seabed classification can be fulfilled. This paper presents a method of seabed classification based on self-organizing feature maps (SOFM) neural network. The complete theory and data processing procedure are researched in detail. Some valuable conclusions are drawn through experiments and analysis. Several experiments proved this method and these conclusions.
