Core Capabilities

All-in-One Workflow

  • Collect, Process, Deliver: Single software suite supports the entire workflow from data acquisition to final deliverable production, eliminating the need to switch between multiple applications .

  • Single File Structure: All raw data is collected and accessible at each stage, allowing users to review processed data and make changes at any time .

Data Acquisition

  • Multi-Sensor Support: Interfaces with LiDAR, multibeam and singlebeam echosounders, sidescan sonar, positioning systems, motion sensors, and dredge/construction sensors .

  • Real-Time Visualization & QC: Immediate visualization of data as images or numerically, with real-time TPU (Total Propagated Uncertainty) calculation for each bin .

  • On-the-Fly Filtering: Real-time data filtering and cleaning applied during acquisition, including TPU-based filtering .

Data Processing & Editing

  • 3D Editing Module: Combines multibeam and laser calibration with 3D swath editing, DTM and CUBE modeling, water column visualization, and SVP editing in one package .

  • Quick Clean: DTM and beam filters clean point clouds in minutes, with CUBE and DTM models updating on-the-fly during final editing .
