Caris HPD 2.4 Adds AML Product Editors
Caris has released Hydrographic Production Database (HPD) version 2.4. With new product editors, new database support and new utility programs, the HPD user group of national hydrographic offices will advance towards an integrated hydrographic data management and production environment. The release of version 2.4 combines ideas and feedback from CARIS HPD users. Eighteen nations use HPD in their hydrographic production workflow. Among the highlights of 2.4 is the release of two new product editor programs. Additional Military Layer (AML) Editor for creation of S-57 format AML products and Generic Product Editor for interactive, graphical extraction of ‘product neutral’ features, based on user-defined filtered sets of features and attributes. These product editors expand the existing HPD product suite, which already includes the HPD Source Editor, S-57 ENC Product Editor and Paper Chart Editor.
