The process is a combination of two approaches, statistical modelling and image analysis. To map substrata and assemblage types across the study site, object-based image analysis (OBIA; Blaschke, 2010) was utilised. The technique was implemented in the software package eCognition® v8.8 combined with a predictive modelling approach using the Random Forest2 algorithm (Breiman, 2001) application within eCognition®. This consists of a classification model aimed at predicting a target variable (in this case, sediment composition) based on exhaustively sampled auxiliary variables (in this case, the acoustic data). The technique has been used in previous studies to predict sediment type (Li et al., 2011a). Li et al. (2011b) showed that the Random Forest algorithm outperformed a range of other modelling techniques for predicting substrate type (Liaw and Wiener, 2002). MEDIN 3.1.1
