Triton Imaging wins Port of Los Angeles Contract for Underwater Port Security

Watsonville, California , USA , June 5, 2008 - Triton Imaging announced today that it has been awarded a contract by the Port of Los Angeles to provide an “Underwater Explosive Detection System” based on the Triton HarborSuite. The integrated system is designed to provide protection from underwater IEDs by integrating seabed image data collected by port survey operations and making it readily available to port police dive units by point and click on a displayed map of the port. Triton will upgrade the port’s survey system with the high-resolution Reson 7125 multibeam sonar. Bathymetric, sidescan, and other underwater image data collected by the LA survey team will be accessed on laptops running the HarborSuitePD software. Police units will have the ability to access baseline images and compare with recently-collected imagery to confirm that the seabed is clear of foreign objets.

The example image above shows high-resolution bathymetry of the cruise ship berth at Port of Los Angeles as viewed with the HarborSuitePD software.

Triton Expands Industry-Standard XTF Format

Watsonville, California, USA, May 01, 2006 – Triton Imaging, Inc., a leader of seafloor search and survey software products, announced today the release of enhancements to its industry-standard eXtended Triton Format (XTF) specification. The new Version 18 of the XTF specification adds two new sonar manufacturer-specific datagrams to the standard format.  The first expands XTF to satisfy the special requirements of some single-beam echosounders as well as the newer technology of multi-transducer echosounders.  The second improvement modernizes XTF to accommodate the latest generation of side scan sonars that use a weighting factor to improve dynamic range and increase image quality.

Both of these additions are in support of Triton’s commitment to keep XTF abreast with technology developments. Promoting and supporting open data formats within the marine technology industry continues to be a Triton priority. Sonar manufacturers are encouraged to contact the Triton technical support team at support@tritonimaginginc.com, or at (831)722-7373 to learn more about other enhancements in the pipeline. Version 18 of the XTF specification document is available for download from our website.

TRITON OFFERS LOOK INTO THE FUTURE AT Oi06

Watsonville, California, USA, April 12 , 2006 – Industry experts attending the recent Oceanology International conference in London got a sneak preview of some of the exciting work-in-progress at Triton Imaging.

The new Triton TAP processing software continued to demonstrate Triton's focus on increasing automation and reducing operating costs through innovation.  TAP features temporal and geographic fusion of disparate sensor data.  All files for a survey can be opened and are available for analysis and intepretation with selection of a single folder containing all sensor data; sidescan, sub-bottom, multibeam, video, digital camera, mag, etc.  The unique temporal displays of TAP show sensor data as tracks very similar to a video editing application.  By moving the selector to any point in the time line, all sensor data collected at that time is quickly displayed.  The techology under the hood that permits this quick, temporally registered, access to all sensor data is a unique caching system developed by Triton. 

Mosaics, DTMs, and other geo-coded products are easily created in TAP's map display with the push of a single button.  Selecting a geographic point, say on an S-57 chart in TAP's map display, automatically and instantanously moves TAP's sensor data displays to the corresponding point in time when the data at that point was collected.  This blend of temporal and geographic data fusion is new in the industry and will lead to faster and more efficient processing of complex, multi-sensor data sets.

For more information on TAP and other Triton innovations in the pipeline, contact or 831-722-7373.
