Abstract

This work focuses on the precise quantification of bubble streams from underwater gas seeps. The performance of the snake based method and of ellipse fitting with the CMA-ES non-linear optimization algorithm is evaluated. A novel improved snake based method is presented and the optimal choice of snake parameters is studied. A Kalman filter is used for bubble tracking. The deviation between the measured flux and a calibrated flux meter is 4 % for small and 9 % for larger bubbles. This work will allow a better data gathering on marine gas seeps for future climatology and marine research.

Recommended for submission to YRF2014 by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Reinhard Koch, Kiel University.
