“…Our results are comparable with those obtained using more expensive scientific echosounders. For example, Halley & Bruce (2007) working with a Simrad single-beam scientific echosounder (the most popular scientific echosounder), obtained κ = 0.64 and Che Hasan et al (2012) obtained similar κ values (between 0.59-0.72) using multibeam echosounders. We should note however that most of these studies classified more than two bottom classes (and accuracy naturally decreases with the number of classes).…”
