enhanced image of the ocean floor
structure.


independent), Egocentric (relative to
vehicle), or Wingman (offset the
vehicle).


Point and click Projects interface allows easy
loading and selection of just the data you
want to process, from high-res coverage
maps.

cleaning, offsets application, and
recalculation of sensor position using true fix
data, with automatic latency corrections.
