Software for integrated hydrographic research

Purpose

Support for scientific expeditions: real-time monitoring and control over experiment execution; automated processing and data analysis; export of results to international formats for hydroacoustic data storage

Objectives

  1. Development and optimization of hydroacoustic survey plans in compliance with technical and methodological requirements
  2. Receiving, processing, and analyzing of data from hydroacoustic equipment
  3. Multimodal visualization and editing of survey data with advanced analytical tools for detailed evaluation and correction
  4. Complete post-processing and comparative analysis of field data to improve the accuracy, reliability, and validity of the final results
  5. Export and storage of data in compliance with international scientific data exchange standards

Capabilities

Mission planning
Survey route design, parameter adjustment in automatic and
manual modes
Mission support
Trajectory tracking and visualization of survey data in real-
time
Visualization of
hydroacoustic data
2D and 3D views, cross-sections, comparisons
Integrated database
Archive of monthly-averaged observations across the global
ocean
Compatible data
transformation
Conversion between international formats (json, csv, tif,
netCDF, SEG-Y, shp, etc.)
Post-processing
Noise reduction, error correction, data interpolation, gridding
methods, etc

Mission planning module

The planning module is designed to optimize the research vessel’s survey route while taking into account navigation safety (with consideration of S-57, S-63 charts, etc.) and the configuration of the installed hydroacoustic equipment

Visualization and data
processing

  1. Generation of 3D profiles for the water column and the seabed sediments
  2. Processing and analyzing of 3D hydroacoustic data (including gridding methods)
  3. Visualization of hydrodynamic processes and analysis of vector fields

Database integration

The software integrates databases with oceanographic parameters (sound velocity, temperature, salinity, and others) for the initial evaluation of hydroacoustic system performance, survey route planning, and post-processing
