Using Eonfusion for hydrographic data quality control

Eonfusion - The Next Generation in Marine Data Processing and Analysis

Eonfusion now offers innovative solutions for hydrographers including those involved in ROV/AUV work.  Eonfusion easily integrates into existing workflows to extend the capabilities of other applications such as HYPACK, CARIS, and the ESRI suite.

Through Eonfusion's unique visual dataflow model the user is able to create processing templates which can be tailored to a wide variety of applications. Each template - or "dataflow" - provides a cutting-edge integration environment which allows for data sets to be fused, combined, interpolated, and intersected faster than ever before.

For example, multibeam hydrographic system data can be either treated as a single data source or integrated with multiple other data sources to identify potential sources of error.  

A powerful time-slider feature allows multiple 3-D data sets and 2-D graphs to be temporally linked to provide a totally unique method of integrated analysis. The inclusion of a C/C# development module enables users to fully customize the processing chain to meet almost any requirement. 

AUV and ROV work such as inspection and archaeology are enhanced through a unique ability to map video data onto AUV and ROV track lines and quickly identify and tag segments of interest for further analysis and/or export.

Points, lines, and surfaces can be fully customized to enable the coincident visualization of multiple attributes simultaneously thus enabling the analyst to make quick hypotheses about trends and relationships present in collected data.

The above image shows a 4D scene view containing bathymetry data (lower) with difference grid (above) computed from reference data. Motion data is visualized as a 3D time series embedded within the difference grid and color coded to show extreme vessel motion. The green swath is an XYZ cloud overlaid on the bathymetry surface and color coded for sonar data quality factor. Multiple 2D graphs are linked to the time slider in the 3D scene. Several types of probes are included to compute distances as well as to tag segments of the vessel track for further analysis.
