MDPS is a powerful package for integrated processing of multi-faceted hydrographic survey data logged using MDCS survey software.
It allows bathymetric, sub-bottom profiling, reflection seismic and side-scan sonar data to be concurrently processed, visualised and exported to surface modelling, CAD and GIS systems.
Being geographical by nature, hydrographic survey data is most rationally accessed via a map interface. The MDPS Projector interface provides the tools for management as well as versatile and fast visualisation of survey data. It also functions as the gateway to raw sonar data.

Projector visualises survey data and
survey-related data on a number of map layers.
Raw sonar data is directly accessible via point and click on the map. |
Logged survey data consists of raw unfiltered observations. This enables the use of different filters and full use of sophisticated spatial computations in post-mission processing. Where the advantages of this approach truly materialize is the processing of sonar data. The unique MDPS Profiler tools introduce a new level of data credibility for both bathymetric and marine geophysical surveys.
MDPS automatically processes tens of thousands of depth points per second to allow efficient bathymetric data cleaning. Morover, it has versatile visualisation and editing tools that allow fast access and inspection of each sounding in finest detail.

MDPS displays the full echogram to aid bathymetric profiling. It also offers sounding classification as a built-in feature. |
MDPS is capable of fast processing of vast amounts of seismic and sub-bottom profiling data. It uniquely integrates reflection signal processing and advanced computation of position for every ping or shot point.

The MLProfiler is a full-featured tool for
interpretation of seismic reflection and sub-bottom profiling data. It provides fast image manipulation, as well as automatic and computer-aided functionality for tracing seismic reflectors, and defining horizons and materials in sub-bottom layers. |
Alongside bathymetric, sub-bottom profiling and seismic reflection data, MDPS offers efficient processing and visualisation of side-scan sonar data. The ability to concurrently process survey data from multiple acoustic sources enables you to quickly obtain a full picture of both the seabed and the sub-seabed.
