FM Viz4D

• Data integration in 4D to aid navigation of surface and sub-surface (submarine, diver, ROV and AUV) vessels.
• Rapid environmental assessment as part of operations planning and evaluation.
• Integration of data types for mine warfare clearance and route planning.
• Real-time vehicle tracking for multiple vessels using NMEA or custom navigation strings, via serial port or UDP/TCP.

Additional Functionality Available in Other Bundles

• Combining CUBE¹ processing with our intuitive area-based editing can allow for quick cleaning of survey data to shorten the duration between data collection and decision making (FM Hydro, FM Pro).
• Use backscatter information to perform remote seabed characterization using ARA , Angular Response Analysis² (FM Geocoder, available standalone or as part of FM Habitat, FM Pro).
