| description | This study aims to enhance the spatial resolution and accuracy of bathymetric prediction by integrating Gravity Anomaly (GA) and Vertical Gravity Gradient Anomaly (VGG) data with a dual-channel Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN). The seafloor topography of the Izu-Ogasawara Trench in the Western Pacific will be constructed and evaluated using depth models and single-beam data. The BPNN improved the accuracy of seafloor topography prediction by 0.17% and 0.35% using the 1 arc-minute SIO and GEBCO depth models, respectively, in areas without in-situ data. When single-beam data was utilized, the BPNN improved prediction accuracy by 64.93%, 70.29%, and 68.78% compared to the Gravity Geological Method (GGM), SIO v25.1, and GEBCO 2023, respectively. When single-beam, GA, and VGG data were all combined, the root mean square error (RMSE) was reduced to 19.12 m, representing an improvement of 60.92% and 61.13% compared to using only GA or VGG data, respectively. Comparing bathymetric predictions at different depths, the BPNN achieved a mean relative error (MRE) as low as 0.5%. Across various terrains—such as trench areas, seamounts, and deep-sea plains—the accuracy of seafloor topography predicted by the BPNN improved by 88.36%, 87.42%, and 84.39% compared to GGM, SIO and GEBCO depth models, respectively. These findings demonstrate that BPNN can integrate GA and VGG data to enhance both the accuracy and spatial resolution of seafloor topography in regions with and without in-situ data, and across various depths and terrains. This study provides new data and methodological support for constructing high-precision global seafloor topography. |
