Stand-alone Mosaicking Module for Forward Look Sonar
Oceanic Imaging Consultants (OIC, USA) introduced the first stand-alone mosaicing module (SAMM) for forward-look sonar (FLS) at the MTS/IEEE Oceans 2013 trade show held last month in San Diego, California. SAMM is a plug-and-play add-on to forward look sonar systems that automatically creates mosaics in real time from FLS data.
SAMM works in real time reading live data from a socket. It can also be used for post-processing. It currently reads FLS data from Kongsberg Mesotech M3, Teledyne-BlueView 2D Multibeam Imaging Sonar and Tritech’s Gemini system. SAMM was introduced at the Oceans 2013 trade show and the company has already received commitments from several clients.
