10. Processing Backscatter Geocoder in SIPS
SIPS/Geocoder
Geocoder options are available in SIPS.
Mosaic Editor has options including:
Auto Gain and Auto TVG Correction
Beam Pattern Correction
Angle Varying Gain Correction
Default options are recommended
Source data
MBBS Support for Simrad and Reson systems
Support for Klein data in SP1
Output target is a SIPS GeoBaR.

11. What are GeoBaRs? Geo-referenced Backscatter Rasters
SIPS/Geocoder
Geo-referenced Backscatter Rasters
Built on BASE Surface technology.
Data Caching
Layers / Meta Data Attributes
CSAR framework
Store in Bathy DataBASE
Multiple GeoBaRs per survey line.
Correct multiple sources of data (e.g. XTF)
Have different resolutions
Visually compare data
Deconfliction dialog helps choose between possible GeoBaRs.
