Sydney ports are now using IVS Fledermaus Vis for 3D visulaisation of port hydrographic data. FM visualisation is a versatile tool for imaging hydrographic data and making accesible the survey department's data to other port users with a direct or indirect interest in the bathymetry of Sydney Harbour.
The images shown are GoogleEarth KML images exported from IVS FMv7.2
Part of my recent work with HCSurvey (www.hcsurvey.com.au) was to design and have fabricated an over-the-side mount for a Geoswath Compact 125kHz system on HCSurvey's 7m cat. The v-plate mounted sonar is itself quite a large bracket, and requires a sturdy mount. The mount has proved to be very rigid, with excellent quality data acquired during the recent post dredge surveys of Port Kembla on behalf of McConnell Dowell.
I am currently contracting for Sydney Ports Corporation. Sydney Ports Corp survey department are running Reson 7125/POSMV with proc in CARIS & IVS Fledermaus. I have worked in areas with worse views!
