GTK+ MB-System — Water Column Viewer

July 7th, 2009 admin No comments

Introduction

Tekmap Consulting has added a Water Column Viewer to the GTK+ MB-System Interface. The viewer is designed to load the Water Column datagram available in the newer Simrad multibeam formats.

The Water Column Viewer loads available data in a user selected ping-by-ping basis. This provides an alongtrack view of the water column for each available ping.

ToDo

The Water Column Viewer is still in the early stages of development. Future add-ons can include:

  • noise filtering.
  • depth and distance annotation.
  • interactive zooming.
  • more color options.
  • feature detection and mapping.
  • 3D plotting and visualization.
