Using CARIS Onboard

CARIS Onboard supports the same range of sonars and acquisition formats as CARIS HIPS™ and SIPS™. Large volumes of data are automatically imported and the trusted HIPS and SIPS algorithms are applied. CARIS Onboard generates a HIPS project and can be easily configured to output other products, such as DEMs and image mosaics. All of which are kept up to date as new data is processed. By the time the survey platform has completed its mission a fully geo-referenced DEM and mosaic, along with a HIPS project, are available for final quality control and use in survey deliverables.

System Overview

The CARIS Onboard software has three main components:

Process Designer provides a graphical interface to design and configure data processing workflows. It allows users

to add, customize and save a variety of processing tasks. This includes data import, tide and sound velocity corrections, creation of output data products and automated data cleaning (e.g. using CUBE). Standard processing workflow templates are also provided.

Onboard Service is an automated service that monitors for raw data files from an acquisition system and batch processes the acquired survey data. As new data is detected it is automatically processed using the workflows defined through the Process Designer. The output data products (e.g. HIPS project, DEMs and mosaics) are also registered for remote access. Products and quality information generated by the Onboard Service are streamed to the dedicated Control Centre or to desktop applications, such as HIPS and SIPS. This enables the hydrographer to view the geo-referenced survey in near real-time for quality control and decision

support while the survey is underway.

Control Centre provides a single access point for users to configure, manage and monitor the Onboard Service. Status information about the processing is displayed alongside a map window showing survey coverage and data quality. The Control Centre can be used on a vessel or accessed remotely from an office location, via an internet connection.

Built on decades of hydrographic data processing expertise and supported by the highly scalable CSAR framework, CARIS Onboard™ enables users to process data from a range of sensors in near real-time to minimize data conversion and processing times. Designed with autonomous operations in mind, CARIS Onboard can also save valuable time and resources when used on survey vessels and launches.

Deployment Options

CARIS Onboard can be installed on a desktop computer, laptop or directly on to the computer payload of your autonomous vehicle. It is certified on Windows 7 and will soon be available for Linux operating systems. Hardware versions are also available as a rack mount for dedicated vessel operations or as a water tight canister for subsea vehicle use. The computer specifications for the hardware versions of CARIS Onboard have been designed with tomorrow’s survey sensors in mind to provide the processing speed and disk space needed. OEM agreements can be arranged for sensor or vehicle manufacturers on request.

System Benefits

CARIS Onboard automates many of the standard pro-cessing steps required in a modern sonar survey that not only reduce subjectivity, but allow human resources to work on specialized tasks. It is especially optimal for autonomous operations where traditionally data can only be processed after vehicle recovery, which causes a data processing bottleneck. When used with survey launches or unmanned surface vehicles it becomes a force multiplier allowing surveys to be con-ducted more efficiently. With the ever expanding volume of data being collected at higher resolutions CARIS Onboard can significantly reduce your Ping-to-Chart™ timeline.

Ping-to-Chart

CARIS Onboard fits seamlessly into the existing Ping-to-Chart suite of software, providing near real-time seafloor map-ping and dramatically reduc-ing the overall project time. Integrating with both autono-mous and traditional survey platforms, CARIS Onboard pro-vides an operational advantage and allows your highly skilled workforce to concentrate on getting the best results.

Manage complex marine spatial information, eliminate data redundancy, improve productivity and extend the use of your data holdings with CARIS’ flagship enterprise GIS solution. Hydrographic Production Database™ (HPD) addresses the data management and cartographic production requirements of the world’s largest and most advanced hydrographic agencies.

Efficiency is maximized in HPD™ with features being stored only once; this coupled with the ability to associate multiple cartographic representations for different product types has positioned HPD as the number one solution.

System Architecture

HPD is comprised of client and server software. The HPD Server™ stores source information and derived products in a seamless database. This allows for multiple product types to be easily created from the common source. Changes between the source data and products are efficiently tracked and updates can be easily applied. The HPD clients facilitate the loading, compilation and verification of the source information. They also support the creation and maintenance of the Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC), Additional Military Layer (AML), Inland ENC (IENC) and paper chart products from the common verified source data.

Relational Database Support

HPD works with the latest Oracle versions for data storage and maintenance. This allows you to leverage the industry-leading security, performance and scalability offered by Oracle in the management of your spatial information.

Powerful Compilation Tools

Source data compilation is aided by HPD’s support for a multitude of raster and vector GIS formats. Data can be captured directly from these GIS sources, or used as a basis for manual or automatic digitizing. Existing paper charts in digital format and S-57 products can also be easily loaded into the database.

Sophisticated tools also allow you to create sounding groups, collection objects and master and slave relationships. For paper chart compilation, you can create symbol annotations in an automated fashion and add straight line, curved or blocks of text using the desired font and justification. All of which can dramatically reduce compilation time.

ONE FEATURE, ONE TIME™

www.caris.com


Efficient Product Creation and Maintenance

HPD has been designed and built to allow creation and updating of multiple kinds of products from a single source. Updates to a source object (e.g. buoy) need to be completed only once and all products using the source object are then flagged for updating. This provides a user-friendly process that minimizes duplication of effort. For historical purposes, HPD also tracks changes to the objects and stores each version of an issued product.

Quality Control

HPD has a complete set of embedded validation tools, including the IHO S-58 standard, to ensure that your chart products can be used with confidence. In addition, user-defined tests can be created to meet your specific validation criteria. If any errors are found, advanced identifica-tion and repair tools exist to quickly correct the errors.

Objects stored in HPD also have a certification status, which is used in quality assur-ance workflows. Thanks to the user access controls offered by HPD, only users with the appropriate privileges can make changes to the certifica-tion, which ensures product quality.

Evolution to S-100

Introduction of the S-100 data standard will lead to the replacement of the existing S-57 based specifications. CARIS is intimately involved in the development of the new S-100 standards and related product specifications and is a key industry contributor. As such, CARIS is incorporating the relevant S-100 specifica-tions into HPD as they become available. Your investment in HPD today will provide you with access to the S-100 capabilities you will need for tomorrow.

System Extensibility

A series of customizable programming interfaces are

provided to facilitate the interaction and integration of HPD with other external systems and applications. You can also extend your applica-tion of HPD with available modules to facilitate raster chart production, creation of nautical publications (e.g. No-tices to Mariners and Lists of Lights) and the calculation and maintenance of maritime limits and boundaries; all within the same database solution.
