UEOS Deepscan data were collected for demo during IEEE MTS / OCEANS 2001.  The data were processed at 30-cm resolution in GeoDAS-Desktop and superimposed over air photo image and SPOT satellite image in ER Mapper. Higher resolution mosaic images (5-cm and 10-cm) were inserted for close-up target display.
