TCarta Marine, LLC is a US-based company dedicated to marine remote sensing and hydrospatial data services.
Kyle Goodrich is the President of TCarta Marine, LLC.
In late 2019 TCarta Marine received a Phase 2 Small Business Innovation Research grant to commercialize next-generation SDB measurement technologies.
NASA’s ICESat-2 satellite launched in 2018 and its space-based laser data was included in TCarta’s SDB research.
TCarta Marine supplied the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration with satellite-derived bathymetry validated by green laser altimeter data from NASA’s ICESat-2 satellite for two U.S. shallow-water coastal areas.
By the start of the summer 2022 collection season, TCarta planned to have developed a multi-satellite coastal surveying capability and a collection strategy for maximization of SDB and related technologies in Alaskan and Arctic waters.
TCarta is analyzing data captured with multiple types of satellite sensors, including multi-spectral, hyperspectral, green laser, and synthetic aperture radar, to determine which images and methodologies or combinations produce optimal characteristics for SDB.
TCarta developed an AI-based technique that leverages ICESat-2 data to train the SDB algorithm and validate results.
NSF awarded TCarta a Phase 1 grant in 2018 to develop multi-method and integrated satellite-derived bathymetry technologies.
A two-year NSF Phase II grant focused on commercialization of TCarta’s SDB technologies was awarded in late 2019.
TCarta integrated ICESat-2 laser measurements into commercial bathymetric projects and routinely offers ICESat-2–based enhancements.
TCarta developed new machine learning-based bathymetric mapping technologies including two software packages and commercial application of NASA’s ICESat-2 satellite with funding from the National Science Foundation.
NSF awarded TCarta Marine a Phase I grant in 2018 to develop multi-method and integrated Satellite Derived Bathymetry technologies.
TCarta became the first company to integrate ICESat-2 laser measurements into commercial bathymetric projects and now routinely offers these ICESat-2–enhanced capabilities.
By combining ML-based SDB techniques with ICESat-2 validation methods, TCarta developed a workflow for deriving accurate water depth measurements at scale from multiple high-resolution satellite images.
NSF awarded TCarta Marine a two-year Phase II commercialization grant in late 2019 for Project Trident.
The post–Hurricane Dorian processing produced a 10-meter bathymetric map covering 130,000 square kilometers that TCarta provided via the Esri Caribbean GeoPortal.
