SonarWiz Sidescan

SonarWiz Sidescan covers the full sidescan sonar workflow, from survey planning and real-time data acquisition to post-processing, mosaicking and contact reporting. It works with sidescan systems from EdgeTech, Klein Marine Systems, Kongsberg, Teledyne, Imagenex, Tritech, R2Sonic and others.

Key features

• Survey planning: loads DNC, RNC, S57 and GeoTIFF charts, plans lines automatically, estimates survey time and outputs plans as GeoPDF, GeoTIFF, ECW, JPEG or Google Earth
• Acquisition: records sonar, navigation, depth sensor, payout meter and magnetometer data simultaneously in XTF or vendor formats such as EdgeTech JSF and Kongsberg-GeoAcoustics GCF
• Post-processing: beam angle correction, de-striping, non-linear per-channel TVG, AGC, band-pass filtering and stacking, plus NavInjectorPro navigation repair
• Contacts: contact capture and reporting, with reports exported to PDF, OpenOffice, Word and HTML
• Output: high-resolution 64-bit mosaics and waterfall imagery

Applications

Seabed imaging for hydrographic, geophysical, pipeline and cable route, archaeological, search-and-recovery and security surveys.
