On the fly filtering including TPU filter

A single file structure ensures that all raw data is collected and accessible at each stage of the process and as PDS flags filtered data this means you can review the processed data and make changes at any stage or even undo processing steps quickly. As all data is synchronized, PDS allows you to identify, offset or latency errors that other software has difficulty identifying. By showing the different sensor data in a time-series. PDS supports QC tools such as 3D views, TPU profile, QC views and others to ensure that your data as collected is of the quality you expect. The real-time TPU value is calculated for each bin and can be viewed as colors or used as filter settings which can be applied real time during Multibeam data acquisition providing real time automated cleaning.

Data processing

The PDS 3D editing module combines MB and laser calibration (where applicable) with editing of 3D swath and sound velocity profile, DTM and CUBE modeling/editing and also water column visualization. Combining these in a single package will save you and your projects valuable time.

Quick clean

Quick clean of your MBES data uses the PDS DTM filter and beam filter where you generate a DTM then filter / edit the DTM and clean your point cloud using the beam filter with the DTM as reference. That way data sets are cleaned in minutes saving further valuable time.

While doing the final touch cleaning on your swath data, your CUBE and DTM models are updated on the fly and the processor immediately sees the results of his work. When more elaborate data processing is required then PDS files can be easily imported into the Teledyne Caris package without the need for conversion.

Automatic pipeline(s) detection

The pipeline/cable detection module in PDS may be used to automati-cally detect and track pipes and cables, display them in 3D and store the surveyed route as xyz route file. Where used with the Teledyne RESON SeaBat series of MBES PDS you further benefit from FlexMode which optimizes coverage over the flowline or cable. Where as-laid route is known this information may even be used by PDS to proactively steer the SeaBat’s FlexMode sector towards the product even where buried so that when the pipe/cable comes visible the tracking starts directly without operator intervention.

Charting

The chart module offers the operator quick plot results. Convenient templates ensure progress plots are generated in just minutes by simply by replacing the DTM with the latest version.

Fast and accurate data production has never been so simple.

The Technological Evolution of Dredging

Wed, 15 Jan 2020 13:10:31 GMT

From its inception in the late 1800's, the hydraulic, or pipeline, dredge has been the dominant machine used for near-shore and in-shore sediment transportation in the United States. These dredges were initially deployed to maintain sufficient channel depths to facilitate river navigation, port access and development. Infrastructure development after World War II created an inland market for sand and gravel mining dredges used in the production of concrete and asphalt. This material dredging market is at least an order of magnitude larger than the navigational dredging market in the US. Other public and consumer concerns, such as environmental remediation and coastal restoration, have created niche dredging strategies and equipment.

Learn more about Teledyne Marine dredge and construction solutions>

Hydraulic dredges have evolved from steam powered, manually controlled devices to sophisticated, energy efficient machines designed to present minimal negative effects on the environment. The equipment being manufactured today incorporates advanced algorithms to predict pipeline lengths, elevations, particle grain size, and required transport velocities. Many of these machines assist the operator in controlling the dredge's navigational path and speed as well as the production rate. In the next several months, several dredges in North America will be deployed with autonomous capabilities that include artificial intelligence and real-time sub-surface imaging and mapping with the primary goal of increased efficiency with less risk.

Teledyne RESON SeaBat T-Series Multibeam Sonars and Turbidity in Real-Time...

Fri, 10 Jan 2020 15:14:10 GMT

During most dredging operations, survey verification of having met grade and other contract requirements comes after the dredge has completed its work in a designated work area and hence moved on. What if the post-dredge survey reveals that the dredge has not fully met contract obligations? When this happens, the additional time, effort and expense to get the dredge back into position to remove what was missed can undermine the success of a project. What if the dredge operator could have “eyes under water” and confirm that grade requirements have been met before moving on?

During dredging operations, the material on the bottom is disturbed and released into the water column. Turbidity is a measure of the presence of suspended particulates. The more suspended solids in the water column, the higher the turbidity. High turbidity can create issues for sonar performance in that the suspended solids act as an acoustic reflector.
As barge mounted sonars are being used in the marine construction industry more frequently, dredge operators are considering the use of sonar to provide information in advance of post-dredge surveys. The “As-Building” benefits can be substantial but there is a concern over the effect turbidity can have on the acoustics.

Utilizing the Teledyne RESON SeaBat T-Series advanced bottom tracking abilities in various dredging operations, with varied levels of turbidity, we have begun to both demonstrate the value and quantify the limits of sonar usage during dredging operations. This presentation presents our results thus far.

Why Would You Put a Multibeam Sonar on a Construction Barge?

Fri, 19 Jan 2018 15:45:56 GMT

Abstract:

How can I use GPS – I need results in the field. I can't use RTK GPS because it's not accurate enough. Multibeam SONAR systems will never be affordable to anyone but government agencies. Why would you put a GPS unit on a bulldozer? These are all comments and questions commonly heard by and asked of the author, over the course of his career, and in their initial years of introduction, for what have all become truly transformative technologies.

Fortunate in having been exposed to each of these technologies as they were outliers at the left-hand side of the Technology Adoption Curve (TAC), otherwise known as “Innovators", the author presents a broad overview of the development and user implementation timeline of GPS and SONAR technologies. As he fills the area under the TAC with anecdotal recollections of Early Adopter, Early and Late Majority and, let's not forget – the Laggards.

Interesting enough, the technologies as referenced herein, have collectively returned to the Innovator portion of the Technology Adoption Curve. The author now hears the question, “Why would you put a SONAR on a construction barge?" Reference cases of multibeam SONAR installations on construction barges are given showing that the Early Adopters have begun filling in their “area under the curve" and the days of the Early Majority users are soon to follow.

Teledyne Multibeam and Dredge Guidance Hardware and Software for Use in...

Sat, 06 Jan 2018 12:07:33 GMT

Abstract:

A $4 Billion project in Tarrytown, New York to replace and demolish the Tappan Zee Bridge is utilizing many aspects of the Teledyne Dredge Guidance portfolio. Five excavators outfitted with Teledyne dredging software (PDS) will be using hydraulic jack hammers to demolish underwater concrete bridge structures. The software allows them to visualize the location of their hammers relative to the structures as well as which portions have already been demolished. A clamshell wire crane outfitted with Teledyne PDS software as well as Teledyne Crane sensors will be used to clean out the debris once the excavators have broken the structures down. Finally, a small survey vessel outfitted with Teledyne PDS Multibeam software and a Teledyne BlueView SONAR provides real time “As-Building" information to the excavators and wire crane so that they have the most up to date information about the structures and debris. With the information from the SONAR, the machines can be sure that an area is fully demolished and removed before moving onto the next one. This will save time and the extra cost of having to go back to a location if something was missed.

Perspectives on the State of Ocean Science

Tue, 14 Nov 2017 09:51:10 GMT

Keynote presentation by Margaret Leinen

The value and role of ocean science and innovation increasingly has been the focus of both international and domestic forums on climate science, sustainability, and defense. Now in its second century of exploration and research, UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography is rising to meet new challenges to understand and protect the planet, through interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaborations and a continued focus on developing innovative technology to observe the planet.

Scripps shares its science at international forums such as the United Nations ocean and climate conferences to advise, contextualize and strengthen the efforts of nations, NGO's and policymakers that set and meet standards for sustainable use of the oceans. The United States Navy is also in the midst of assessing the global state of ocean science and technology via Task Force Ocean, and has engaged US academic institutions including Scripps to ensure cutting-edge ocean science is applied to its oceanographic infrastructure, technologies, and technical workforce so that the Navy maintains its global competitive advantage.

In her keynote, Dr. Margaret Leinen will describe these international forums, Scripps role, how Scripps scientists are innovating to meet these global demands in ocean science and technology, and the state-of-the-art research facilities, centers, and education that will shape the future of ocean and climate science.

The Next Great Odyssey of Human Endeavour Exploring the Deep Ocean

Thu, 09 Nov 2017 14:55:25 GMT

Keynote presentation by Oliver Steeds

Humankind is poised to make the next giant leap – into the deep ocean. We now have the technology available to us to discover more of our planet in the next 10 years than we have in the last 100,000.
Throughout human history, exploration has always driven our progress. Lief Ericson's journey to North America (1001 AD), the discovery of the New World (1490s), Magellan's first circumnavigation (1519) and space exploration (1957-) have all pushed back the frontiers of our knowledge, unlocking immense opportunity and changing our relationship to our planet and ourselves.
But since 1969, we've been looking up when we should have been looking down. The most important part of our planet, the deep ocean, remains the least known part of our planet.
The ocean is the heart of our planet. It's 99% of the planet's biosphere[1], regulates our atmosphere and climate and produces 50% of the oxygen we breath[2]. It captures heat and carbon dioxide which dramatically reduces global warming and provides a primary source of protein for 3 billion people[3]. The ocean is everybody's business. How it changes affects us all. The problem is that we don't know how the deep ocean functions, how healthy it is, how resilient it is and how the development of a sustainable blue economy can drive our growth.
The ocean remains the last great unknown frontier on our planet. We've only biologically sampled 0.0001%[4] and mapped an area equivalent the size of Tasmania to the same kind of detail that we have mapped the entire orbs of the Moon and Mars[5].
From Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), from seabed mapping systems and chemical sensors to the initial library of DNA sequences of marine animals, technological developments now unlock extraordinary new research capabilities. We now have the ability to discover more of our planet in the next 10 years than the last 100,000 of human history.
New areas of economic activity such as renewable energy and marine mining are on the horizon. Millions of new species are to be discovered that can propel human medicine. Resources to be unearthed that will drive our sustainable economic development. Even the origins of life on Planet Earth are to be found.
To engage the world in our all of our work, we should be looking to the space community to learn how to improve our story-telling – engaging our audiences with stories that are positive, forward looking and about a brighter future; that are Mission based and trigger the imagination, communicating danger and building on narratives of exceptionalism, patriotism, exploration and the collective human achievement.
Together, as an industry, we are already leading the exploration of the deep ocean, the last, great unknown frontier on Planet Earth.
The Apollo Missions, polar exploration, Jacques Cousteau's adventures, even Felix Baumgartner's space jump captivated the world with their human drama, battles against adversity, and above all, the unknown. We need the unknown. It is the sense of mystery that gives us imagination and makes us human. Our work is the next positive epic story of human endeavor that can inspire humanity.

Data images from the Multibeam Survey of the HMS Hampshire wreck site

Wed, 24 May 2017 10:45:55 GMT

Earlier this year Teledyne RESON was invited by Seatronics to assist with the mapping of HMS Hampshire.

HMS Hampshire sank on the 5th June 1916 when she struck a mine laid by German U-Boat U75. The wreck is located in approximately 60 meters of water off the west coast of Orkney and sank while en-route to Archangel in Russia. She was transporting Lord Kitchener, Secretary of State for War, to a meeting with Tsar Nicholas II.

Many sailors perished that day and as such the wreck site is considered a war grave and restricted area for shipping and diving. In the run up to the centenary of the loss of the HMS Hampshire permission was given to carry out a condition survey and map the extent of the wreck site.

Sandra Henry continues: “This survey is being undertaken as a mark of respect and remembrance for those who lost their lives aboard, and all those who lost their lives at sea during the First World War.”

Equipped with a SeaBat T-50-P the wreck site was mapped in great detail. The imagery confirmed previous findings that HMS Hampshire capsized as she sank and lies with an upturned hull on the seabed in approximately 60m of water. The superstructure itself is compressed and the hull is damaged in places throughout the length of the vessel. The data was recorded and processed with Teledyne PDS.

Ocean Business 17

Wed, 26 Apr 2017 14:19:12 GMT

A combination of over 24 classroom training sessions, 8 dockside and test tank demonstrations, ongoing on-water hydrographic demonstrations, and 15 new product launches kept customers busy and engaged at a highly successful Ocean Business earlier this month.

Kicking off the week with our first combined Agents and Representatives meeting, Ocean Business started with a flurry of activity as global agents representing our full spectrum of brands came together to learn more about the latest Teledyne Marine activities, including the fifteen new products being launched, personnel changes, and on-going marketing ventures. We would like to thank everyone who registered and attended our pre-show event - we hope you enjoyed your time with us and found it to be a valuable afternoon.

Throughout the three days of exhibiting, over thirty-five demonstration and training sessions were delivered covering new products and technologies, new and on-going projects, and recent case studies. These were well attended and many sparked some interesting and in-depth conversations between our personnel and both existing and potential customers. Amongst these were dockside and test tank demonstrations of various Teledyne Marine products. The Oceanscience Z-Boat and SeaBotix ROV proved to be popular hits on the sunstroked dockside, with attendees piling through the door to try and get a view of our pilots maneuvering the vehicles up and down the harbor.

Ocean Business, and the atmosphere it brings, proved to be the perfect platform to introduce fifteen new products to market. From the smallest of LED lamps to our fleet of Slocum Gliders, to the most comprehensive multibeam echsounders and compact DVL - the Teledyne Marine booths were packed with new demonstration and equipment displays. Product development is at the heart of our ethos, and launching new systems designed with new features and better performance ensure we continue to meet the industry's changing needs.

Combined Laser/Multibeam Sonar Survey of Sydney Harbor

Fri, 06 May 2016 10:34:02 GMT

By Dario Conforti - Teledyne Optech

Combined Laser/Multibeam Sonar Survey of Sydney Harbor

Teledyne Optech has been a world leader in the design, development and manufacture of advanced lidar instruments for 40 years. In the last few years Teledyne Optech and its sister company Teledyne RESON developed a full and seamless integration between their sensors, the motion-compensated ILRIS-3D laser scanner and the SeaBat 7125 Sonar System, through the PDS 2000 software. The ILRIS Motion Compensation (MC) option was developed to let surveyors use the normally static ILRIS dynamically by combining it with a Position and Orientation System (POS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. The resulting system is integrated into a mobile mapping system and enables much more effective mapping in wide and complex terrain. This type of mobile laser scanning is now at the cutting edge of coastal survey technology because it allows surveyors to easily survey coastlines directly from a boat and is particularly useful for mapping long or inaccessible coastal areas. This presentation will explain the integration of the ILRIS and SeaBat sensors and showcase several applications in the last few years from Europe to North America to Australia. The survey in Sydney, Australia is the most recent survey made and shows the perfect match between the underwater data from the sonar and the shore data collected from the lidar scanner.

Mon, 25 Nov 2013 12:49:39 GMT

Surface Vessel Based Multibeam Pipeline Inspection

In a special collaboration between BP, Fugro Caspian and Teledyne RESON an unconventional approach was used to survey pipelines in the Caspian Sea. A vessel was outfitted with two pole mounts each equipped with a SeaBat 7125 SV2 using FP3. Teledyne PDS software was used to automatically detect and track the pipes in real time. A total of 710 km pipe was surveyed in just seven days. This presentation outlines the advanced technologies that were involved to collect such high resolution pipeline data.

Teledyne RESON Underwater Technology Seminar 2013 - Copenhagen

Wed, 25 Sep 2013 16:20:15 GMT

Underwater Technology Seminar in Copenhagen 2013 - Our largest Multibeam Sonar Seminar ever in Europe

We hosted the European Underwater Technology Seminar, September 16th to 19th in Copenhagen. The seminar was a 3-day event focusing on new sonar technology and it had well over hundred delegates plus speakers and technology partners. It makes it our largest European seminar, since we started the yearly seminar concept.

We had put together an extensive educational program including international paper presentations, hands-on class room training, workshops with our technology partners, demo boat tours and a factory visit to the Teledyne RESON headquarters.

All the companies of the newly formed Teledyne Marine Acoustic Imaging Group , including RESON, BlueView and Odom Hydrographic, were present at the seminar. It became clear that our customers now have access to a whole range of underwater imaging solutions. There was a great deal of interest in the Teledyne Odom Hydrographic and the Teledyne BlueView demos and workshops. Francis Freire, a PHD at Stockholm University said: “I realised that Teledyne has a full range of multibeam sonars which allows you to select exactly the one you need, depending of the needs you have”.

All our technology partners also experienced a lot of interest from the delegates, who were eager to learn about new technologies and products. Throughout the seminar there was a good atmosphere and the social events called for late nights in Copenhagen.

We would like to thank all the delegates who attended the seminar as well as the technology partners and speakers for making this event a success.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Underwater Technology Seminars in 2014
