Faster Multibeam Data Handling
In-house tests revealed that the CUBE surface creation and Merge processes are
now 15-30% faster respectively. The 64-bit technology also allows access to
larger banks of RAM, increasing the ability to multi-task while processing.
HIPS and SIPS supports over 40 sonar and Lidar formats, allowing it to process
data from virtually any system configuration. The software also includes the
latest seafloor classification tools and workflows, enabling the optimum amount
of information to be extracted from organizations’ seafloor measurements.
A new license string will be required to make use of the new 7.1 features. Each
of the individual licences are unique and will only work with the corresponding
HIPS and SIPS 7.1 software, as well as earlier versions.
