What is SIDESCAN?
View and analyze Sidescan data in real time with the industry's most comprehensive bottom mapping solution.
Industry-leading mapping software on the seabed allows appraisers to:
- They detect small targets through better resolution throughout the range.
- They identify the differences between old and new research through SonarWiz's transparency, theft, or line offset tools.
- They preserve the full fidelity of sonar data in various formats. For example, SonarWiz allows you to write to industry-standard or vendor-specific XTF formats, such as Edgetech JSF or Kongsberg-GeoAcoustics GCF.
- They simplify mission execution through the use of a unique, easy-to-learn mapping solution.
- Create superior contact reports thanks to enhanced editing capabilities. Easily export data to a variety of formats, including PDF, OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, and HTML.
- They optimize time in the water through the use of sophisticated planning tools.
- Reduce costs by leveraging real-time data acquisition to confirm quality and coverage before leaving the coverage area.
- Generate state-of-the-art tiles, contact, and cascading images with 64-bit high-resolution screens.
Research Planning
- Load maps and background charts of various formats, including DNC, RNC, S57, and GeoTIFF.
- Automatically plan lifting lines parallel to a reference line, within an efficiency-based polygon or conventional standards.
- Generate planned search maps such as GeoPDF, GeoTIFF, ECW, JPEG, or Google Earth.
- Estimate the search time.
Estimate the search time.
- Postprocessing
- View files with the SNIFF feature.
- Add and correct browsing data with NavInjectorPro.
- Leverage advanced signal processing and gain control; take advantage of features such as beam angle correction, track removal, nonlinear TVG per channel, AGC, band pass filtering and stacking, contact capture (target), annotation, and summary reports through the 3D Viewer.
- Use flexible layback configurations.
- Easily printable output.
- Grid generation / grid shapefile / isopach contour of selected variables (e.g. altitude + depth).
