Analysis: ROVer’s Eye Pre-flight 3-D path planning allows you to follow an onscreen visual flight track with known survey coverage. Sidescan overlays of the seabed can be added to provide an enhanced image of the ocean floor structure. User-definable, steerable views include: Virtual (vehicle independent), Egocentric (relative to vehicle), or Wingman (offset the vehicle). Sidescan and forward-looking imagery and bathymetry are processed and displayed on-screen providing real-time 3-D virtual illumination of the seabed beneath and forward of the vehicle/sonar.

Navigation and Attitude Wizards guide nav cleaning, offsets application, and recalculation of sensor position using true fix data, with automatic latency corrections. Sidescan processing utilities include ground- range correction, beam-pattern and artifact filters, and advanced contrast enhancements. Bathymetry processing provides full attitude, tide and refraction corrections without any “ad-hoc” downsampling. All data retained to the final grid. Interactive mosaicking - swaths can be merged or removed from the final mosaic. Supports full-resolution target marking from raw data, with marks saved as GeoTIFFs.
