Client-Server Mode allows GeoDAS to broadcast records over a network or serial connection in real-time to a remotely located GeoDAS Client terminal.

June 2006OIC Background

Selected New Features Real-time processing includes full

heave, pitch, roll & refraction corrections Simultaneous support of beam-

amplitude, backscatter & snippets Simultaneous multi-beam and sidescan

logging, display and processing. Serial, ethernet and analog inputs. Configurable navigation, attitude and

environmental inputs (Tide and SVEL) Full motion and attitude compensation,

with real-time latency correction. Real-time robust filtering, outlier

rejection. Supports profiles, contours, 3-D and

digital terrain models. Built-in "Patch-Test" calibration. Interfaces to the OICCleanSweep for

advanced post-processing. Logs raw data to disc and tape drives in

OIC and other formats.

Pre-flight 3-D path planning allows you to follow an onscreen visual flight track with known survey coverage.

Sidescan overlays of the seabed can be added to provide an enhanced image of the ocean floor structure.

User-definable, steerable views include: Virtual (vehicle independent), Egocentric (relative to vehicle), or Wingman (offset the vehicle).

Sidescan and forward-looking imagery and bathymetry are processed and displayed on-screen providing real-time 3-D virtual illumination of the seabed beneath and forward of the vehicle/sonar.

Point and click Projects interface allows easy loading and selection of just the data you want to process, from high-res coverage maps.

Navigation and Attitude Wizards guide nav cleaning, offsets application, and recalculation of sensor position using true fix data, with automatic latency corrections.

Sidescan processing utilities include ground-range correction, beam-pattern and artifact filters, and advanced contrast enhancements.

Bathymetry processing provides full attitude, tide and refraction corrections without any “ad-hoc” downsampling. All data retained to the final grid.
