Generation of informative acoustic mosaics
SOUNDTILES is designed to process a set of sonar images, determine their correct alignment, and blend them into a single informative mosaic. The generated mosaic provides an overview of the surveyed area and eases interpretation of the imaged scene, enabling the identification of spatial relationships and offering a map with enhanced resolution and a higher signal-to-noise ratio compared to individual sonar images. The final resolution depends on the sonar model and operating frequency, reaching sub-centimetric levels with the highest-frequency (short-range) sonars.
Compatible with multiple forward-looking sonar file formats and acquisition setups
SOUNDTILES currently supports the processing of files from Blueprint Subsea, Kongsberg Discovery, Norbit, Sound Metrics, Teledyne Blueview, Teledyne Reson, Tritech manufacturers. Data from these sensors can be acquired using an ROV, an AUV or a pole-mounted setup from a vessel.
No need for positioning information
SOUNDTILES can perform processing using only the images recorded in the sonar file, enabling map generation from data collected with minimally instrumented platforms. However, when positioning and/or rotation data are available (e.g., from GPS, IMU, or other navigation systems), they can be imported to support the processing.
Mapping of horizontal or vertical planes
SOUNDTILES can generate maps of both horizontal and vertical surfaces. Whether you need a detailed seafloor mosaic or a precise map of a vertical wall, it can deliver highly accurate visualizations.
In-built wizard to assist through the processing steps
SOUNDTILES includes a mosaic wizard that guides the user from project creation to mosaic generation in a user-friendly way, while keeping the technical complexity behind the scenes.
Advanced options for mosaic fine-adjustment
SOUNDTILES offers multiple tools to analyze rendered mosaics, along with additional features to enhance them and address any issues.
Multiple export options and outputs for your reports
SOUNDTILES can export generated mosaics in common image formats, including georeferenced .tif files that can be opened in any GIS software. It can also export video files showing the incremental rendering of the map. Several tools are available to annotate the mosaic and take measurements providing valuable insights into the mapped area.
Dongle-based license
SOUNDTILES uses a dongle-based licensing system to ensure ease of use and portability. The software can be installed on multiple computers and will run on the one with the dongle connected, without requiring an internet connection.
Available for Windows and Linux
SOUNDTILES runs seamlessly on both Windows and Linux, delivering reliable, high-performance mapping wherever your work takes you.
