FM Viz4D

• Direct import of a variety of gridded and ungridded data allows you to visualize large lidar and multibeam datasets quickly.
• Combine data at different resolutions, from various sensors (multibeam and sidescan sonar, sub-bottom profilers, topographic and bathymetric lidar), field observations, satellite imagery and geophysical analysis for a more complete picture of dynamic shoreline processes.
  
• Drape sidescan sonar, multibeam backscatter, and video imagery for assessment of seabed type and site monitoring.
• With the new 4D, time-integrated interface, it is now possible to visualize dynamic systems - fluid chemistry, dispersal patterns for pollutants, or sediment deposition - changing over time and integrated with other data.
  
• Import modeled sea level surfaces or use time varying planes to show sea level change or flood predictions.
• Analyze change between recurring surveys using surface difference analysis.

Additional Functionality Available in Other Bundles

• With intuitive area-based editing and the power of CUBE¹ processing, large amounts of lidar or multibeam survey data can be rapidly processed. Intuitive, flexible processing combined with our powerful visualization tools provides an excellent solution to the data volume and logistics problems that coastal zone management can pose (FM Hydro, FM Pro).
• Special tools to analyze lidar waveforms to assist in the processing of coastal lidar surveys (FM Hydro, FM Pro).
• Process backscatter data and perform remote seabed characterization² (FM Geocoder, available standalone or as part of FM Habitat, FM Pro).
