PRESENTING YOUR DIDSON™ DATA

The DIDSON Acoustic Camera has several additional ways other than the acoustic video or still image to present data tailored for your varied requirements.

Mosaic

Third-party software generates mosaics from DIDSON data. Not only does this provide a much larger field of view, the software processes overlapping frames to decrease the effect of noise and to obtain additional detail (super resolution) in the images.

Wide Field of View

This software feature allows one to collect data while panning the sonar and display a field-of-view up to 120° wide. The user maintains a 29° active sector within that larger field-of-view to monitor dynamic objects.

3D - Coming in early 2009

An optional feature coming soon allows three dimensional presentations of DIDSON data. A 1° concentrator lens mounted on the standard DIDSON provides 96 beams, each 0.3° horizontal by 1° vertical. As the DIDSON pans or translates through the field of interest, it collects data that can be presented in 3D format during the collection. One can obtain precise measurements within the work area and use the data as input to sophisticated modeling software.

Clustergram

The clustergram graphically indicates the presence of moving objects that exceed certain intensity and size parameters. It allows analysts to sift through days of data at a rate of 800 frames/s (200 times real-time if data are collected at 4 frames/s).
