3D seabed terrain 

Seabed terrain can be visualised in a 3D environment.

Multiple Map Views

Multiple Map Views are available.  Each individual Map View window can be configured separately to display only the information required.

Background Maps 

Background Web Map Service (WMS) maps can be displayed.

Import 3D models 

3D models can be imported into NaviModel (drag and drop into the Map View window).

Link 3D models to live objects 

3D models can be linked to any live objects (Vessel, ROV, Scanfish etc).

2D, 3D and side-view displays 

2D, 3D or Side views allows the user to quickly change the view facilitating better data interpretation.

Visibility Slider 

Visibility slider allows users to compare different DTM’s quickly.  This enables comparison over time or between different data processing methods.

Control colours, lights, details 

DTM light and palette settings can be changed at any time.

Profile views 

Create fly-through videos 

Fly-through videos can be created for project or promotional presentations.

Display live position of a vehicle

NaviSuite supports display of vehicle data based on the NaviPac data feed. You can display the main vessel along with one subsea vehicle, such as an ROV or ROTV, on an unlimited number of local and remote displays. The data can be shown graphically in multiple map views.

AIS tracks

NaviSuite supports integration with AIS receivers. The data can be shown in a dedicated AIS window and overlaid in the NaviPac window. You can perform, read and utilise vessel dimension information.

Display north-up, heading-up, route-up

Each Map View can be designed and controlled individually when it comes to content, overlays and layout. Map Views can be 2D, 3D or side-views, and orientation can be user defined, north-up, vehicle up or line up.

Manual waypoint drawing

NaviSuite supports a series of runline and waypoint formats including our own RLX/WPT format, ad generic ASCII readers. You can also draw lines and points directly in the Map View.

Various runline patterns (parallel, cross, star)

You can inherit multiple lines based on the base line defined, such as parallel or cross lines to get an optimal route plan.

Vehicle control panel for multiple vehicle runlines and display DOL

Assignment of lines and waypoints are handled through the dedicated Vehicle Control view, as you may control multiple vehicles simultaneously. Each controlled vehicle will be available as distance offline indicator (DOL/DCC) and various runline information (along line, target ETA etc).

Distance to waypoint

Waypoints are handled in a similar manner to runlines, as assignment of the waypoint is done in the Vehicle Control View. Hereafter, an artificial runline is created from the vehicle to the point and NaviPac monitors the range/bearing to the destination. and can a,.o. feed that into autopilots and DP systems.

Multi-object live range/bearing

In NaviSuite, you may pair live vessels and monitor the range/bearings between them for online display as live data and range information on Map Views.

Auto-pilot (NMEA) control

When using runlines and waypoints you may connect NaviPac to autopilot systems using e.g., standard NMEA formats and pass cross-track error and destination waypoints on to the equipment.

DataUnits

NaviSuite supports use of other data units in addition to metric. The unit is selected in the project settings and all definition fields are then assumed to be in the selected data unit. 
NaviSuite will follow the selected data unit, but you may, by using a simple keystroke, toggle between metric and data unit if required.
Data recording will still be metric to guarantee data integrity, but data outputs can be selected freely.

Surface positioning and motion (GPS, Gyro, IMU)

Setting up an entire vessel based project in NaviPac is easy performed using intuitive graphical definition tools. The video covers basic project definition, geodetics and vessel navigation setup.

Subsurface positioning (USBL, DVL, INS, Gyro, IMU)

Setting up remote and subsea vehicles is done in a similar manner to the main vessel – easy and intuitive. Adding instruments, positioning sources (transponders, INS, LBL etx) and defining weighting and Kalman filter settings is possible.

SBE - single beam echo sounder

Single beam echo sounders and other single source data suppliers can easily be interfaced in NaviPac, either via standard drivers or enhanced user-configurable drivers. Data will be available for display in both Helmsman’s Display and DataMon. Single source data can be shown as points clouds in the HMD – and you can automatically derive DTMs out of it.

Surface positioning and motion (GPS, Gyro, IMU)

NaviEdit Header Editor allows the user to check the vessel setup.

NaviEdit Data Editor allows the user to view and QC sensor data via a series of graphical displays.

Subsurface positioning (USBL, DVL, INS, Gyro, IMU)

You can check an ROV setup. View and QC sensor data via a series of graphical displays.

Import XYZ files

You can easily model historical data in NaviSuite Kuda and use it for example to plan your survey or compare your results with earlier observations. If you have data in a known format, such as generic ASCII XYZ files, these can be imported as DTMs, point clouds, or TIN models.

Point clouds with RGB and Intensity

By default, point clouds can be visualised as a solid colour or as a depth palette. However, if source files contain RGB or Intensity values, we can choose to colour the point cloud with this information instead.

Manual cleaning

A selection window or a polygon can be used to manually clean point clouds.

Import LAS files and display as RGB or Intensity

LAS and LAZ files can be imported as DTMs or as point clouds, meaning you can use NaviSuite’s powerful modelling capabilities for validating data in this format. You can also export your model to this format.

Point Cloud Registration (QuickStitch)

If point clouds are misaligned, we can use Point Cloud Registration to align them. We accomplish this by first digitising common features, and then performing a least-squared adjustment that moves one point cloud to another.

Find Rocks

This tool analyses DTMs to identify rock events.

Trench design

In NaviModel theoretical trench profiles can be designed and visualised inside a 3D environment.

If available AutoCAD engineering drawings can also be used.

Rock-placement design

In NaviModel theoretical rock-placement profiles can be designed and visualised inside a 3D environment.

If available AutoCAD engineering drawings can also be used.

Modify lines

Lines can be modified in many different ways.

Line smooth

If required, the entire length of the line can be smoothed in XYZ.

Local smooth

Local smooth tool allows you to concentrate on small line sections that require remedial action.

Convert waypoints to lines

Waypoints can be converted to lines via the ASCii Importer.

Compare lines

Whilst we can always compare lines visually in the Map View window, sometimes it is better to create graphs for comparison.

Configurable event types, hierarchy, and properties

Client and company specific event collections can be tailored to the activity undertaken.

During EIVA Days Denmark 2018, we presented a major expansion to the functionality of camera based scanning.

Create events

Events can be created quickly and are automatically placed onto a DTM.

Tablet for fast event creation

Using the eventing tablet view allows for quicker event creation. With the eventing tablet, you can quickly add all events, or customise which events to add with just a few steps.

Create freespan and burial events

Pipe and seabed markers are used to create freespan and burial events.

This means that events and seabed markers always tie-in.

Recalculate events

Events can be recalculated at any time.

Export events

User configurable templates can be created to export events in the format required.

Export nearest image and videos

Images and videos can be exported for each event or for selected events.

Create pipetracker gap events

Pipetracker gap events are created from continuous sections of rejected pipetracker data.

You can also automatically identify and generate DTM gap events for quality control.

Drape images on digitised pipe

Video images can be wrapped around an existing pipe or digitised line in the Map View window.

Play and control video

Digital video acquired in external systems can be played and controlled inside NaviModel.

Synchronise video with track

In NaviModel the track contains the date and time and must be synchronised with the video time to enable videos to play.

Normally the video time and track time are recorded in the same time zone. However sometimes this is not the case and we need the option to change the video / track time so that video will play.

Adjust video hue, brightness, contrast and gamma levels

Hue, brightness, contrast and gamma levels can be adjusted to improve badly lit videos.

Display video images (Waterfall)

Video images can be displayed as a vertical waterfall.

'This past season I have been using NaviPac 4.5 for surveying and I more than approve of this latest version! NaviPac is truly the best navigation and positioning software on the market. As a surveyor, there are many tools and features I love to use in NaviPac. A quick tip for other NaviPac users, I have saved time on my tasks by configuring shortcuts to quickly access the tools I use most.'
