Sand waves are widely distributed in the world and have complex genesis. And multi-scale complex sand waves often overlap to form a complex sand wave geomorphology system, which makes it difficult to conduct quantitative research. To solve this problem, a practical Fourier analysis method is proposed in this paper, and Butterworth filter is designed to transform water depth data into frequency domain, and then decompose complex sand wave geomorphology into a series of single types of sand waves in different frequencies. Taking the complex sand wave geomorphology system of Taiwan Banks as an example, three spatial scales of sand waves are quantitatively decomposed, which are: giant sand waves (over 100 m in length, over 5 m in height), medium sand waves (wavelength of 5–100 m, wave height of 0.4–5 m) and sand ripples (wavelength less than 5 m, wave height less than 0.4 m). The quantitative analysis method of sand waves proposed in this paper is helpful to study the genesis and mechanism of sand waves in different scales, and is also of practical value to the safety assessment of marine engineering in sand wave fields.
