Description

Fledermaus is an interactive 4D geo-spatial processing and analysis tool. With a wide variety of industry standard formats accepted, the intuitive 4D display and interaction allows clients to rapidly gain insight and extract more information from their underlying data. Extensive grid functionality includes interpolating, masking, cropping, and resampling. Images may be cropped and draped atop 3D surfaces. Fledermaus also allows data from remotely operated vehicles, ships, or other entities, to be visualized in realtime. Additional analysis tools allow for seafloor interpretation and characterization, object and surface change over time, object tracking, and cable and pipeline route planning. Fledermaus has integration with Esri software and enables a two-way link to geodatabases in Esri ArcGIS software. 3D mesh technology allows users to examine their data and assess structural integrity in ways that bathymetric grids are inherently limited to do. Fledermaus is the gold standard for presentation and communication, with movie-making tools and integrated video playback. Flythroughs and time/space notes are used to create presentations with slides advancing through 3D/4D space. Fledermaus also includes industry-leading solutions for water-column processing. The extensive functionality of Fledermaus allows its use across many phases of a project from the planning, processing, and QC, through to analysis and production of images, plots, and animations.
