The huge volumes of MBES datasets in a hydrographic framework require the use of semi-automatic techniques. In very shallow waters depth, data cleaning becomes a challenging task when potential dangers to navigation have to be carefully checked. The aim of our paper is to attempt this goal by combining two well-known techniques. The seafloor is constructed as an assemblage of surface elements with the help of a robust statistical approach. The local parameters model is a priori chosen, its scale is driven through a quadtree descending approach using subdivision rules based on both statistical and spatio-temporal inferences. Our multi resolution approach provides, with the algorithm outputs, a classification map that notes areas of concern. %G English %L hal-00672672 %U https://hal-ensta-bretagne.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-00672672 %~ ENSTA-BRETAGNE %~ ENSTA-BRETAGNE-STIC %~ GIP-BE
