Using an R2Sonic sonar and wanting to process backscatter?

If you are wanting to collect great backscatter data to create mosaics then this poster from Jonathan Beaudoin is a must read. It shows you how to set the sonar up, use SVP data and then process it in FMGT.

Nice use of 3 different types of underwater mapping

Pearl Habour wrecks surveyed with multibeam, LiDAR and underwater photogrammetry. Coolest thing is making models of wreck artefacts by using 3D printers. The small USV is also pretty impressive – complete with R2Sonic 2020.

Qimera – very exciting

I’ve been working on this for a few months now and finally we can talk about it. Qimera should really change the way that multibeam data is processed. No complicated setup, an intuitive interface and unbelievably powerful features and speed. More posts to follow on this!

Integrating multibeam & laser

I’m presenting at the RESON UTS in Hamburg on getting the data right when collecting multibeam and laser data combined. To give you a taster, here’s an image from a survey we conducted at Portland Harbour recently. @RESON_Seabat http://mmt.se/news-media/laser-bathymetry-survey/

Val Schmidt and the Lost AUV

An excellent, if a little sweaty palms, story of how an AUV was lost and then found. It is bad enough to lose a sidescan or ROTV (we did 2 years ago but luckily it was washed up on a beach) but an AUV is even more expensive!
