The WP2 “Underwater Services” involves three out of nine thematic services of the NEANIAS project. The overall common goal is the development of thematic cloud services which support the analysis and data management of a large diversity of tasks within the fields of underwater, atmosphere and space research, development and easy to handle, fair to use and platform independent. We present Bathymetry mapping from acoustic data service implementation, Seafloor Mosaicking from Optical Data and Seabed Classification from Multispectral, Multibeam Data services.

The U1 [UW_BAT] “Bathymetry mapping from acoustic data service implementation” provides an advanced user-friendly, cloud-based version of the popular MB-System software, for processing bathymetric data through Jupyter Notebooks (Fig.1).

The U2 [UW_MOS] service “Seafloor Mosaicking from Optical Data” delivers 2D/3D mosaics produced by a set of images and navigational data (Fig.2). The expected output is achieved by a processing pipeline based on in-house solutions and open-source libraries.

Finally, the U3 [UW_MAP] service “Seabed Classification from Multispectral, Multibeam Data” provides an easy-to-use, cloud-based solution incorporating machine learning frameworks in order to identify different seabed classes (Fig.3).

Services have gone through the first release round, most services have been integrated to NEANIAS authentication system service, the documentation workflow, and integrated with GARR infrastructure services. As expected, this first services milestone uncovered some gaps in the services deployment stack and integration with other core and delivery services will be addressed for the next milestones and releases.
