Massive Gas Seeps

I’ve been helping out a potential client with extracting data from the water column packets of an @TeledyneRESON multibeam system in 1500m of water. It was only when I extracted it (using the new awesome water column tools in @QPSQimera) that I realised how big they were. One is 750m high and the other is […]

I’ve been taking different AUV datasets through Qimera and I must say, it is really easy. It is even easier now that as well as the post processed inertial SBET format, I have been beta testing the Kongsberg Navlab post processed position and pressure formats too. It only took a minute to get all the […]

Fantastic ESRI Story Map on the history of multibeam water column

This fantastic story map provides a history of the development of water column processing from research to reality. It was put together by Moe Doucet (@metamoe) from QPS and Victoria Price from Normandeau Associates. They presented it at @ESRIOceans this week. Well worth a view.

See the seafloor in new ways – Multispectral Backscatter

R2Sonic have just released a new firmware update that allows the system to ping in succession at different frequencies. It works best on the Sonic 2026 as this can ping at 100 kHz, 200 kHz and 400 kHz. QPS QINSy records the frequency with each ping and then FMGT (the backscatter app) processes each frequency […]
