Real-time Sensor Quality Control

MBSS-Logger™ offers a wealth of display options to ensure high data quality. Typical windows for monitoring raw sensor information include a waterfall display for the sonar imagery, a signal voltage display for each incoming ping, and a parameter display for navigation, motion sensor, etc., and file storage.

A real-time link with TEI TritonMap™ provides for on-line mosaic production, an invaluable tool for assessing seabed coverage and the quality of geo-referencing between adjacent lines.

Reliable, Precise Sonar Data Acquisition

MBSS-Logger™ systems are active throughout the world, incorporating over 20 years of field experience in hardware and software design. Incoming sidescan sonar and ancillary sensor data are time-stamped to millisecond accuracy, thereby ensuring the final data products can be properly corrected during processing.Wide Compatibility.

Compatible with All Sidescan Sonars

MBSS-Logger™ interfaces with any sidescan sonar available today. Analog or digital, regardless of the manufacturer -- we offer a custom interface that is intuitive to set up and is designed around the sonar's communication requirements. All data are stored in TEI's open XTF (eXtended Triton Format), an industry-standard, non-proprietary format.

Comprehensive Data Correction & Analysis

Numerous tools exist within MBSS-Logger™ for correcting and analyzing data and generating reports. Bottom-tracking, time-varying gain, slant range correction, and layback may all be applied to the imagery on-screen without affecting the raw data being logged. Events, scale lines, and notes can be associated with the imagery. A powerful ASCII report tool allows practically any information stored in the XTF file to be extracted in user-defined formats.

Real-time 3-D GIS Mosaicking

A real-time mosaicking link exists between Isis® Sonar™ and TEI's TritonMap™ GIS product. These mosaics may be overlain on navigation charts or other background information. Contours, navigation hazards, or contacts may be overlain on the mosaics as they are being built. Sidescan imagery can be draped over a DTM and viewed in a three-dimensional perspective.

Target / Contact Capabilities

MBSS-Logger™ can be augmented with TEI's TargetPro™, a powerful seabed contact capturing and analysis application. TargetPro™ offers a full suite of image processing, feature measurement, and geocoding options. Collation of all information associated with contacts is easy, with a built-in ASCII Report tool. Saved contact positions are automatically registered in MapT when the real-time mosaic options is open.
