System for view dependent sonar survey data processing, and method for same

Abstract

The Sonar Multiview Engine is a system for sonar data processing to enhance analysis and display of the sonar data. The Sonar Multiview Engine may include a use of sonar data from multiple sensors and three subsystems: a multiview processing and storage system, a Multiview Analysis Subsystem, and a multiview display system. The Sonar Multiview Engine uses data processed by sonar instruments and navigation instruments as input. The Sonar Multiview Engine may be used to produce geophysical and hydrographic seafloor maps, seafloor acoustic reflectance models, seafloor terrain models, and other representations and analyses for interpretation or understanding of the seafloor. The Sonar Multiview Engine may be applied to either new sonar data or existing sonar data that may be stored or streamed directly to the engine.
