About Triton Imaging

Triton Imaging is a developer of high-performance, highly automated software tools for seafloor mapping and underwater imaging applications. Our products are designed to acquire, process, fuse, visualize, and interpret data from a wide array of seafloor imaging sensors including: sidescan sonars, single and multibeam echo-sounders, seismic sub-bottom profilers, and many other scan-based information streams.

Technology Profile

Triton pioneered commercial data acquisition and data processing products for seafloor imaging applications. The standard format for seafloor imaging is the XTF -- the eXtended Triton Format. Triton excels at complex system integration, sophisticated visualization platforms, and rapid product prototyping of new imaging concepts. Today Triton is implementing new technology initiatives that provide a broad range of answers to the increasing demand for advanced system capabilities, including visualization technology for scan-based security products for homeland defense.

In 2008 Triton introduced its new Perspective™ product line, which facilitates the fusion of diverse data types into comprehensive, accurate solutions. This innovative architecture takes advantage of the latest in software technologies including: multi-core parallel processing, indexed cache files, workflow wizards, XML project files, multi-resolution tiling, and dB-based rendering to deliver products that are fast, accurate, efficient, easy to use, and that provide the tools necessary for a broad range of real-world marine applications. Perspective Map, Triton's GIS-based mapping package forms the foundation of this new line by integrating the new Triton MosaicOne, TargetOne, BathyPro, SeaClass, PipeTrack, and SB-Interpreter software modules into a cohesive suite capable of processing, fusing, and displaying sidescan, bathymetric, and seismic data. Each module is controlled from the Perspective Map environment via common, embedded user-interface, tools, and displays. The output from these modules is displayed as multi-layer, co-registered survey tracks, sidescan sonar images, bathymetry DTMs, target icons and images, and seabed classification areas and boundaries.

History

Triton was founded in 1983 to integrate and operate complex offshore search and survey systems. Triton's original objective was to transform the interpretation of analog sonar signals from an art form performed by human operators to a more predictable computer-enhanced data processing system. The technology produced by Triton dramatically changed the industry by automating data manipulation, detailed analysis and interpretation.

Triton has a history of teaming with sophisticated customers in search of solutions for challenging projects. Successful search projects include missile debris, mine and explosive ordnance, archeology, shipwrecks and aircraft debris. Triton customers received the first commercial, digitally-generated sonar mosaic software in 1989; the first stereo 3D seafloor rendering software/hardware in 1990; and the first commercial Windows-based Isis® work station for sidescan sonars and SBP in 1993.

Since its inception in 1983 Triton has built a loyal, worldwide community of customers that use its products and services in a wide variety of applications. Triton customers include naval mine-hunting units; commercial survey companies; government hydrographic organizations, oceanographic institutes; marine archeologists; treasure hunters, offshore diamond miners; and homeland defense agencies. Triton's collaboration with its diverse group of customers contributes to the ongoing development of practical, advanced software technologies.

Objective

Triton's mission is to continue as a world-class leader in advanced/intuitive imaging systems through its commitment to continuous R&D, through its recruitment of superior staff and through an in-depth understanding of the market. The true power of Triton imaging technology lies in its “intelligent connectivity” – the ability to acquire and combine data from a myriad of sensors and ancillary systems, and to automatically present the results in an intuitive manner.
