NEANIAS Underwater services onboarded on EOSC.

The three NEANIAS Underwater services are already onboarded on the European Open Science Cloud, available to the EOSC community. This article presents the most relevant information about them, as well as how to discover them.

U1 - Bathymetry Mapping from Acoustic Data

The first service is U1 - Bathymetry Mapping from Acoustic Data (UW-BAT), developed by TELEDYNE with the support of the NEANIAS project.

Our Underwater Bathymetry service for mapping of hydroacoustic data delivers an advanced user-friendly, cloud-based version of the popular open-source MB-System software for post-processing bathymetry through Jupyter Notebooks (MB-System and JupyterLab Notebook are existing software packages that have been available for many years and meet the TRL 6 requirement). The service aims to create an easy to use agile and fit-for-purpose workflow of multibeam data processing. Simply upload the data, apply basic filters/corrections, define the desired resolution for grids/maps and then retrieve the generated results from the cloud server. There is also potential to share Jupyter Notebooks between science, industry and research which could aid in the further development of the UW-BAT service.

The service is addressed to students, businesses, resource managers, researchers, research communities, research projects and providers, among others interested in multibeam-echosounder, mbes, bathymetry, hydrography, hydroacoustic, backscatter or hydrographic-survey.

It can be found at https://marketplace.eosc-portal.eu/services/uw-bat. A video demo is also available on the NEANIAS YouTube channel, showcasing its applications and features: U1 service Video Demo.

U2 - Seafloor Mosaicing from Optical Data

The second service is U2 - Seafloor Mosaicing from Optical Data (UW-MOS), developed by CORONIS with the support of the NEANIAS project.

The Seafloor Mosaicing from Optical Data service aims to provide an operational solution for large area representation (in the order of tens of thousands of images) of the, predominantly flat, seafloor addressing also visibility limitations from the underwater medium.

The service is to students, businesses, researchers, innovators, research communities, research projects or research groups, among others, with needs in underwater mapping service.

It can be found at https://marketplace.eosc-portal.eu/services/uw-mos. For more details, it is available a video demo on the NEANIAS YouTube channel: U2 service Video Demo.

U3 - Seabed Classification from Multispectral, Multibeam Data

The third service is U3 - Seabed Classification from Multispectral, Multibeam Data (UW-MAP), developed by ATHENA RC with the support of the NEANIAS project.

The Seabed Classification from Multispectral, Multibeam Data service delivers a user-friendly cloud-based solution integrating cutting-edge machine learning frameworks for mapping several seabed classes, validated for archaeological, geo-hazards, energy, and other applications.

The service is mainly addressed to businesses, researchers, innovators, research communities, research projects, research Groups, among others, interested in seabed classification, multispectral multibeam data and mapping.

The service is available at https://marketplace.eosc-portal.eu/services/uw-map. It is worth watching a short demonstrative video with the main features of the service on NEANIAS YouTube channel: U3 service Video Demo.
