  1. Mine Reconnaissance and Hydrographic Suite (MRHS)Post Mission Analysis Processing

  2. MarineSonic .MST files SSS Data review and Targeting MST to XTF Isis TargetPro HTI ext. SSS mosaics Triton Map Review Hist. .con Overview of processing operations – REMUS 100 AUV *Items covered in this document in Yellow

  3. Remus Marine Sonic .MST to .XTF conversion • Triton MST to XTF converter • Convert multiple .MST files to .XTF for processing • Use Shift+ Click to select

  4. Triton Isis - Initialization • Isis default display. • Minimum screen resolution 1280 x 1024. • Reset recommended for new project or data type.

  5. Triton Isis – Basic Playback and review of SSS data Reset Isis windows Faster playback Slower playback • Channel on/off • Slant-range correct • Speed correct • Threshold / Weight Right click Stop, (exit playback mode) Load XTF, > start playback Status: PAUSE, Use <spacebar> AT END Navigation Range Pitch, Roll, Heading, Speed, Depth, Altitude File, Date, Time, Ping number

  6. Triton Isis – TVG corrected data • Auto-TVG on • Threshold adjusted • By default Isis imagery is reversed (white shadows) • Manual (Custom) TVG v Auto TVG? • The image in the Isis waterfall is used to create the Mosaic.

  7. TargetPro • Double-click in the Isis waterfall to launch TargetPro and create a Target. • See the TargetPro section in SAS processing for more details • NOTE: The accuracy of the position in TargetPro depends on the navigation and heading, if the navigation or heading are poor the results in TargetPro will not be accurate, we can process the nav both for Targets and for the Mosaic.

  8. Isis data review and TargetPro Practical

  9. Mosaic creation - view navigation • Isis: Tools>Coverage Map and Mosaic • Check Full Triton Map mosaic • Play the file(s) back one time in Isis to see the navigation track in the coverage map window: 3 1 2 Coverage map

  10. Mosaic creation – Navigation Processing • Use the Coverage Map display to process the navigation. • Coverage Map displays both the track and the “beam lines” • Click “Smooth Now” more than once to see the effect of more smoothing. • For a good mosaic and accurate Targets, beam lines must represent the true heading of the sonar, AUV’s generally have good heading instrumentation, however towed vehicles (and small AUVs?) may not. In this case Isis computes the heading from the navigation (CMG)

  11. Mosaic creation – save the processed navigation • Save the processed navigation to a .txt file. • TargetPro uses the processed navigation • > Improved accuracy

  12. Mosaic creation – Projection and resolution • Click “Set Projection and Bounding Box” • Check the coverage and set the resolution of the mosaic image > OK • Check “Build Sidescan Mosaic” • Click “Start Mosaic” • Select a name and location for the mosaic File (.DDS_VIF) > Save

  13. Mosaic creation – Playback in Isis and create mosaic The white line follows unprocessed nav. • Message “Successfully started mosaic” • Data scrolled in the Isis waterfall window will be mosaiced. • Return the focus to the Isis waterfall window, go to the start of the first line to mosaic • Unpause <spacebar> or click play and select a file. • A white line is drawn in the coverage map window showing progress. • When the lines have been run Click “Done” • All windows must remain open.

  14. Mosaic creation – view in Triton Map • Quickly view a mosaic (.DDS_VIF) file created in Isis. • Project > Insert Layer(s) > Select .DDS_VIF mosaic file. • Click the “View Extents” Icon to center the image. • Window, Zoom, Pan, Measure etc. (see Triton Map guide)

  15. Real-time Review Isis Klein .XTF files SSS Data review and Targeting Isis TargetPro HTI ext. SSS mosaics Triton Map Review SITAR CAD/ATR ATR .con Hist. .con Overview of processing operations – Klein 5000 SSS *Items covered in this document in Yellow

  16. Klein 5000 real-time data review • Isis in record mode – the interface to the sonar is via the K5000 server. • Two scrolling windows can be configured if needed; one corrected for speed and slant range. • Range can be 50m, 75m, 100m, 150m. • Navigation, Altitude, Speed, Pitch, Roll, Heading, are monitored. • Along track resolution 0.2m or 0.1m

  17. Klein 5000 data review and processing • The same processing steps are used as for the REMUS system. • No file conversion necessary, data are logged as .XTF files. • Also possible to convert Klein SonarPro (.SDF) files to XTF. • Towed sonar system with acoustic positioning of the towed fish. • The navigation may need more careful processing. • For accurate Targets you MUST use the processed navigation file in TargetPro. • SITAR/ CAD and ATR may be used in addition to the Triton processing.

  18. REMUS and Klein 5000 data review and processing Practical

  19. Non-SAS data Review Isis EM3002 .ALL files HISAS files SAS Data review and Targeting EM Update NEXUS Prescan NavLab Isis TargetPro .ALL nav-corrected HTI ext. HISAS mosaics Focus Spot Corrected nav .ALL to .XTF Triton Map Focus SAS Processing BathyPro Review DTM Contours XYZ SITAR CAD/ATR ATR .con Hist. .con Overview of processing operations – HUGIN 1000 AUV *Items covered in this document in Yellow

  20. .ALL to .XTF conversion Add files: Opens a browser window to select .ALL files, multiple files may be selected. Remove files: Select (highlight) files, and click to remove from the list. Convert All files: Convert the files to .XTF format. Processed (XYZA): For HUGIN PMA check. Raw (Range and Angle): For HUGIN PMA uncheck Network Optimize: Copies the files from a network drive to a local drive before conversion, speeds processing. Beam Time Series Data: For HUGIN PMA Exclude Output: XTF files containing bathy data and a .log file showing which datagrams from each .ALL file were processed. NOTES • The .ALL file format is complex, not all datagrams are converted. • If the conversion fails send a sample .ALL to Triton for analysis.

  21. BathyPro - Initialization 1. Reset 2. Set Working Folder 3. Add XTF files (right – click) • NOTE • Reset advisable for new project. • Must choose correct .XTF type (Submetrix/Simrad) • Error message: “No Bathy Channels in file” = incorrect choice of XTF file type or corrupt .XTF file. 4. Initialization Successful

  22. BathyPro – Map and Projection settings • Resolution. Typical 1m – 5m. Higher values give smaller files less detail but more “hits” per cell. Lower values give better resolution fewer “hits” larger files slower processing. • If navigation is in Lat/Long BathyPro automatically chooses the correct UTM grid zone, use “Change” in Output Projection to check. • Check that E-W size, N-S size are as expected, also check coordinates of North-West corner. • Datum Height Offset should be 0. • Uncheck “Set Default Limit” to define a specific area to be processed.

  23. BathyPro – Vessel Geometry • Set Default Values (from XTF Header File): uncheck for Hugin PMA • Tow Fish or ROV System Configuration check for Hugin PMA • Add Depth from XTF File: check for Hugin PMA • Transducer offsets are read from XTF file, should be close to the values shown here. • Save these settings to a .geo offset file for them to be used in processing. Save as… • Can also use Open… to load offsets from a previous session.

  24. BathyPro – Bathy Corrections • Suppress Beam Using Beam Quality: use the Beam Quality flags set by the sonar. • Suppress beams outside angle from nadir: flag beams near the edge of the swath. • Suppress beams inside angle from nadir: flag beams close to nadir. (not used with this sonar). • Suppress Beam using Depth Range: Flag beams that exceed a Minimum / Maximum depth for the survey area. • Suppress Beam using Slant Range: Flag beams that have a range greater than the entered number. • Suppress Beam using gradient: Flag beams based on the maximum allowable difference between adjacent cells in the Bathymetry grid. • Suppress beam using beam number: Flag all beams from a specific transducer. • Suppress Ping using Check Sum : N/A • Suppress on Low Variance: Experimental • Input Beam Edit File: N/A:

  25. BathyPro – Importing Tide Data 2 3 4 6 • h ^ ASCII import routine looks for non-numeric characters and treats them as field separators. Numeric: 1234567890. -

  26. BathyPro – Importing Sound Velocity (SVP) Data 1 2 ^ ASCII import routine looks for non-numeric characters and treats them as field separators. Numeric: 1234567890. -

  27. BathyPro – Select Processing • Navigation processing: uncheck if EMUpdate was run on original .ALL files. • Gridding Soundings: check to generate a DTM, click Settings… to choose file name for DTM and set Average in Geoencoding Type. • Generate Grid Chart: check to enable XYZ ASCII output of gridded data. • Generate Soundings Chart: check “Export in ASCII and .DXF format” • Select XY unit Lat/Lon dd.ddddddd • Select Z Unit to meters. • Isocurve extraction generates contour lines in .DXF format - set Z interval (e.g. 5m)

  28. BathyPro – Process Save a project (.DTM) file to preserve all processing settings. Output files: The digital terrain model: grid0000.DDS_* Bathy contour (IsoBath)file: Iso0000.dxf ASCII XYZ data: SoundRaw0000.txt and SoundRaw0000.dxf .DDS_* and .dxf are imported to Triton Map
