Oceanic Imaging Consultants Introduces Stand-Alone Mosaicking Module (SAMM) for Forward Look Sonar

HONOLULU - Feb. 20, 2014 - PRLog -- Oceanic Imaging Consultants, Inc. (OIC), of Honolulu, Hawaii, introduced the first Stand-Alone Mosaicking Module (SAMM) for forward-look sonar (FLS). SAMM is a plug-and-play add-on to forward look sonar systems that automatically creates mosaics in real time from FLS data.

“SAMM works in real time reading live data from a socket.  It can also be used for post-processing.  It currently reads FLS data from Kongsberg Mesotech M3, Teledyne-BlueView 2D multibeam imaging sonar and Tritech’s Gemini system”, said Thomas Reed, President of OIC.  "We saw a need in the marketplace for an FLS mosaicking tool and are delighted to have been able to quickly meet the client’s requirements.”

SAMM’s Data Acquisition Features Include:

•       Simultaneous mosaicking and logging of broadcast data

•       Interactive control of track layering, processing and sensor offsets

•       Pan, zoom, target marking and vessel track

SAMM’s Data Processing Features Include:

•       Sensor/navigation offset and bias corrections

•       Navigation and heading filtering

•       Instant reprocessing and editing of recorded data

•       Layering of individual tracks for optimal mosaic composition

•       Per-track adjustment of contrast/gamma/brightness

•       Interactive image selection tools for cherry picking data

•       Contact marking, measurement, classification and export

•       16-bit imagery support for optimum image resolution

•       Background display of aerial photos, satellite imagery, raster and vector charts

•       Easy image export to GeoTIFF and Google Earth
