Satellite Reconnaissance Chart (SRC)

TCarta’s Satellite Reconnaissance Chart (SRC) fills an ever growing gap.

Across much of the globe, accurate and updated hydrographic data remains a rarity, forcing mariners to navigate poorly charted waters. Supplementary data is essential in such areas to improve hydrographic planning, reduce the risk of groundings, and equip mariners with reliable information.

Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB) is deployed to remotely survey coastal and nearshore areas, offering high resolution and up-to-date bathymetry to depths of 20m and up to 30m under ideal conditions. TCarta’s Satellite Reconnaissance Chart integrates familiar chart features such as soundings and contours onto an SDB-informed basemap for a complete, up-to-date hydrospatial perspective. When used in conjunction with a nautical chart, a Satellite Reconnaissance Chart can provide crucial detail to mariners and survey planners alike.

The process begins with a high-resolution satellite image, from which Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) is extracted. Contours are then generated from the SDB surface, providing detailed elevation profiles. By integrating digitized nautical chart points, the data is refined to produce a comprehensive Satellite Reconnaissance Chart, offering enhanced hydrospatial insights for marine and coastal applications.
