Sonarwiz Field & Office Magnetometry

Magnetometry post-processing

Chesapeake Technology

Mountain View, US

Description

SonarWiz for Magnetometry supports data logged as raw text and from serial port recording, whereby a channel of magnetometry data feeds into and is recorded as an embedded data channel in the sonar top-side unit in parallel with the sidescan sonar data such as for EdgeTech and Klein models. Some of the many leading mags supported include AquaScan AX2000, GEM 19M, 19T; Geometrics 881 & 882; Marine Magnetics Standard and with Depth. Other models can be supported – just contact us at [email protected].

Processing options - Import your magnetometry data as a text file or as an embedded channel from a sonar file. As text file magnetometry data is template-based, use any of our existing 20+ templates or ask us to create one. Templates are currently available for the following types of pre-recorded magnetometry data and many more.

Define boat specs and sensor positions relative to the vessel reference position with the Vessel Editor
Create a new project & import your bathymetric data files
Load and merge raw bathymetry data (range/angle) with attitude
data (roll/pitch/heading), sound velocity casts, tide files, and auxiliary navigation data

Magnetometer post-processing supports the full range of navigation, filtering, smoothing, and repair that SonarWiz offers for sidescan and sub-bottom post-processing, using an import time-constant for source smoothing, ZEdit, and NavInjectorPro.

Magnetometer data can be presented in an editor with color-coded raw, smoothed, and ambient magnetometer field strength data graphed. Anomalies may be manually or automatically detected and exported in a report. The anomaly report can be edited or sorted within SonarWiz or exported as a CSV text file for further editing.

In real-time, SonarWiz automatically builds a CMF file, loads it into your project, and displays the navigation of the magnetometer in the Map Window behind the vessel.

Area of Application

"Help dive teams and recovery personnel locate underwater artifacts, treasures and pipelines you seek to find, map, or recover with SonarWiz for Magnetometry. Magnetometry data for ferrous-object detection, co-recorded with sidescan or sub-bottom data, provides a valuable new layer of information. SonarWiz for Magnetometry works real-time with your magnetometer and provides a platform for data post processing and manipulation. Magnetometry real time acquisition is included with all SonarWiz sidescan or sub-bottom real-time acquisition license purchases, while magnetometry post-processing is sold separately. "
